The Question

I misunderstood her then, and assumed she was speaking in terms of mice and men, much the way S, J's friend said it in her oxymoronic hot-mama cool-chick hongkong-triad motherly fashion (it's a stretch of imagination, but still workable, really...) - waah a doctor and a .... hen pei.
But I don't think that way; I just see people.

In hindsight I realise that I hadn't told Sara yet what she did...

Sara : ...So what does it feel like... to date an equal?

I think I understand her question now; not a question of worth and measures at all.

"You have remarkable eyes" he says, looking away before he can catch himself.

What the hell?!
We know how it's done, we've never had trouble before : you look the girl square in the eye and you smile a little; it's that easy. It's an act, easy peasy. And what's a bit of play acting..

... remarkable? Graah.

What was that??

*****
And then the curtain falls -

"when i asked you if you were on the rebound, you said it had been 3 months...
but you see, i don't think i was necessarily referring to your last relationship...
"

Not a seer?
With X-ray vision like that?.

graah.

Learning from the past, do you KNOW her well enough to know that she *is* truly an equal, and not just that she seems to be?
