just another political dance

They are partners in a dance.  He leads, she unwillingly joins in.


She can say no.  Statute says she must say no, but too much is at risk.  Following the rules would lead to publicity and a law suit.


She wants to say no; her partner wants her to say no.


Her only option is seduction.  Slowly, carefully she leads him to infer that she's really on his side, a dyed in the wool, life-long conservative.  He sees an ally in his fight against the liberals.  The dance stops.


He agrees to a compromise, a cease and temporary desist while he investigates her premise. His signature gatherers complain, but haunt the business next door.


She feels dirty.
