"So, Gail," Jack said, putting his knife down. "You said you had news?"

Gail, hungrier than she'd ever been, continued eating. "I broke up with Brad." She sneaked a glance at her father, and was amused to see him perk up.

"Oh? Should I be sorry?"

"No," she said, "I think congratulations are in order. He's a bastard."

Jack's eyes narrowed. "I don't disagree with you, but why the sudden change?"

"I told him I was pregnant and he called me a whore, so I dumped him. Dessert?"

Her father stared. "He... you're... what?"

Gail resigned herself to missing dessert.

OH GAIL.

She really does have things under control, or at least puts on a good show of it.
