And Sesha for one wasn't especially into show-and-tell.At least not at work.I'll be glad to take a look, she said. Did you get a feeling about any particular area on this plane of reality that I should focus on?Rather than looking guilty or trying to make up for feeling like she'd failed, Natasha grinned.I wish I could say I did. But the block or knot or whatever it is kept me from seeing that clearly. I do know how much you love a challenge.Sesha grinned back, and in her excitement, she had to remind herself to keep her face on the human side of the equation.
