Steve shook his head, "Deb, you know that you don't build healthy relationships based on trust by sneaking around inside someone's body."
Debbie sighed. She knew Steve was right, she just didn't want to have to have that kind of conversation with Nicole right now. "Fine, but you take the lead," Debbie said.
Steve knocked on the door and spoke in the cracked-open door. He tried to appeal to her sense of adventure despite having told the kids that the shrink ray wasn't a toy and wasn't something that they'd ever really get to play with. He said, "Sweetie, your mom says you're having a problem. I just... I have the shrink ray here and we could use it to shrink some...one to... help you?"
Debbie winced, that offer and appeal to Nicole's interests was almost more painful to listen to than what she had in her mind. She loved Steve dearly, but he didn't have a way with words like he did with his inventions.
Nicole considered Steve's offer for a moment before opening the bathroom door.
