She has finished talking and there is a pause. I am thinking. At this scale, at the level of the human drama, everything is a silly game with arbitrary rules set over the millennia and mostly for historical reasons. But knowing the rules and that they don’t matter doesn’t put you above them, doesn’t give you the ability to step around them. Or does it?
I experiment. “What is the shortest sequence of steps I can take that gets us from this lighthearted conversation to making out on a couch?”
She takes my hand and leads me out of the building.
