James and I are browsing through photos on www.ffffound.com. One picture in particular
strikes us as humorous: an image of a swan sticking his beak in between a
beautiful busty woman’s legs. It’s supposed to be a GIF but the action sequence
is slow on purpose. The woman turns her head with a gasp in the second
movement, then turns completely around and we can see she’s half naked. Maybe
it’s supposed to be a reference to the Greek mythological story, Leda and the
Swan. At this point I realize that James and I have been sitting in a
basketball gymnasium. We hear commotion across the court. Our Russian friends
are up to something in the hallway. They keep appearing in the doorway with
smiles on their faces.

Leslie comes over. It’s always good to spend time with her.
Our conversations are exciting and humorous. Relaying stories from the past
week. She pulls out my small collection of comic books out and we entertain
ourselves with the old advertisements. Browsing through all my t-shirts on
hangers in the closet she comments, “All of this is hilarious.” She finds the
red one with a googly-eyed snail sewn on it.
Me: “Yeah I thought you’d like that one. You wanna borrow
it?”
Leslie: “Maybe.”
Darren walks in after getting off a China Wok shift. He sums
up some of his experiences including a girl customer that wowed him, “But dude,
okay. 1270 Sir George Circle...”
Me: “Okay, yeah?”
Darren: “Probably one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever
seen. And...”
Me: “[Heh-heh-heh] And?”
Darren: “Well she was wearing a wedding ring so I couldn’t
say anything to her.”
Leslie: “You could’ve said something!”
Darren: “Yeah, Hi. I hope your gigantic Rottweiler that
belongs to your probably massive husband doesn’t overhear me say ‘I’d love to
put it in you!’”
[Ha-ha-ha]
Leslie: “Well maybe you shouldn’t have said that but you
could’ve said something to the effect of, Wow! You’re really beautiful.”
Me: “Yeah you could be innocent about compliments.”
Darren: “Yeah. Whatever.”
