It was all the younger woman could do to keep from turning around and making a nasty face at the humorless Miss Doober. She realized she had nothing to lose, since this was her last day. But she had a special request to make at closing time and a raunchy plan. Provoking Miss Doober would spoil all the fun later.

When her boss wasn't looking, Cathy went over to Rick and left him a carefully folded note. She smiled slyly when he looked up at her. Even without the note, there was an understanding between them.

Left alone at his work-table, Rick opened the slip of paper. In dead center was neatly written: "One last round before I go. Be here at closing time." His cock throbbed in his pants as he tore the evidence into little bits. He had known Miss Coke wouldn't go away without saying good-bye properly.

As Miss Doober prepared to leave the library for the day, the staff gathered round to bid Cathy good-bye. The other two librarians strained to smile at their departing co-worker, but Miss Doober seemed unable to manage even that much. She shook hands stiffly and handed Cathy a package wrapped in plain brown paper.

"This is for you, Cathy. I hope it comes in handy in your future life."

Cathy was grinning broadly. At the moment she was feeling a perverse affection for the characters who had plagued her existence for the past year. They had their appeal, as Ebenezer Scrooge had his. In a way she felt sorry for them. She imagined none of them enjoyed any kind of sex life, including the three who were absent for this solemn occasion.

She unwrapped the mysterious package. It was a book on etiquette. Good old Miss Doober. Subtle as a shithouse seat! "Why thank you, Miss Doober! It's just what I've always wanted!"

This time the old goat smiled. "Just what you've always needed anyway, Cathy! Read it in good health!"

In consideration of her last request, the three older women left Cathy alone to close the library one last time. "I've really got a soft spot for the old place," Cathy explained fondly. "Some of the best moments of my life have been spent here! Honest!" she added when she detected frank disbelief on the faces of the others.
