I was hoping I could help and have you owe me a favor Andrew smiled .

I doubt a favor from someone like me would mean much to you , Ms.

I beg to differ ? If it meant getting a favor from you , Dr.

Lloyd , Id do anything .

Id even strip down and wear thigh highs every day if thats what it took .
