Wild Card

Zoe: Hey Dan … that was totally bucket! Bucket? says Dan in total disbelief! Zoe: I'll explain it to you later!

Zoe: Dan … cross country, women's lacrosse, rowing … a Bachelor's degree from Michigan Tech … why would you assume that Tina was a mindless groupie? Dan: Did you see that outfit she was wearing that night? Zoe: What if I told you I had that same outfit? Imagining it Dan says: Do you?

Zoe: M tells me that our … Sammy … has a little bit of a crush on you! Dan: Oh …! grimacing … Not interested! … I have done my time with those kinds of women! Zoe: Kind? What kind of a woman is that? Dan Intense … career driven … sizes a guy up in the first minute … jump in the sack too quickly and before the afterglow dims has already found tons of faults … and I mean tons of faults … and then it is … Hey I'll give you a call sometime … yeah … right … and when I am away out the door she is already complaining to her friend on her cell phone that those type of quality men aren't around any more! Zoe: Alright … intense, career driven … are you trying to say that I'm …? Dan: No Zoë … you are not even close! Trust me … your kids are infinitely more important to you than any assignment M would ever give you. And your highly entertaining neurosis and adorable insecurities prevent you from jumping anybody's bones prematurely! Zoe: You know that is an awful lot of information from a guy who doesn't even know the date of my birth! Leaning on the car, Dan looks straight at Zoë and says: You wanna know what I do know about you? Zoe: What? What do you know about me?" With a very passionate look in his eyes Dan says: You sneeze in threes. You have … extremely delicate hands. You do this funny … hip swinging thing when you sink a free throw imitating the movement! … and … looking as if he loves her very much! … you have got a smile that … sighing … Kings used to go to war for and level cities …! Zoë is totally overwhelmed: … I am sure there is an appropriately witty retort to defuse this … touch on the verge of romantic moment … but I am so flattered right now … I don't know what it is! Dan shrugs: … Rain check? Definitely! says Zoë sighing and licking her lips!!!
