Alexander tried calling Tegan a couple of times over the weekend, but each time when a child answered the phone, he hung up without saying anything. 

He sighed with frustration, saying out loud to his phone, “Okay, that’s the way you want to play it, huh?  Now let me think, how can I get you to come to me, so I can see you again, and ask you out?  Without interference from anyone else?”

Suddenly an idea popped into his head, and he got a wicked grin on his face.
