Story for my cousin-Part II
A Thai restaurant, 8 years ago.
Valentines day when we were still Valentines.
A dim place, full of suburban couples.
Plastic vines were strung around.
To make you…..?
…..think you were on a jungle picnic?
After dinner she tilted her body sideways, only slightly, enough to let a fart out.
'Jesus,' I said, 'just fart, but don't tilt.'
We were still laughing when the waiters handed out the Valentine’s day desserts, skipping our table.
Red jelly in the shape of a heart, on ice cream.
We laughed about them skipping us.
The evening before our wedding we ate dinner there again.
'A good friend,' someone shouted to my almost-wife, pointing at me and laughing across the table, 'but probably not a good partner.'
