Challenge words: lacking, physical, pot, seashore, tray, wacky
Illya frowned over a glossy pamphlet plucked from his partner’s in-tray. “Join us at the seashore for a wild and wacky vacation,” he read, monotone. “Why?”
“Why not? It sounds fun.”
“Fun for whom? You don’t like water sports — surfing, swimming, even scuba diving. And I see no appeal in lying on hot sand or watching girls in grass skirts dance around a roasting pig and a pot of stewed vegetables.”
“That’s because you’re totally lacking in imagination.” Napoleon waggled his eyebrows. “There will be plenty of, ah, physical activities after the luaus.”
“Activities that are more enjoyable without sunburn.”
********
Challenge words: crude, growth, hover, pitch, seal, survival
“There’s no need to hover over me,” Illya growled, emphasizing the statement with a crude Russian curse.
“Ah, ah,” his partner chided from his bedside. “Dr Adams won’t give the seal of approval to your release if you’re pitching a fit when he comes in.”
“Why not? When I’m well enough to be difficult, he wants to be rid of me.”
“He won’t let you leave if your heart rate’s so elevated he questions your odds of survival.”
“Nonsense. I’ve survived broken bones, bullet wounds, burns and concussions. The removal of a benign growth from my toe won’t kill me.”
