Fugue #71


Ana at home, eating Chinese with Enbal.

"Does it ever feel colonial to you?"

She laughs and puts on the paddy hat that her father brought home for her from Thailand last year. She finishes her rice, and opens a fortune cookie.

Enbal, shaking her head:
- What’s it say?
- "There is a prospect of a thrilling time ahead for you."
- In bed.
- What?
- Did you ever play that game? Adding "in bed" after a somebody reads their fortune?
- Ha, no. What about yours?
- So is Paul coming over tonight?
- You’re an ass. What’s your fortune say?
- "You are the center of every group’s attention."
- In bed?
- So true! (wink) Is Paul coming over tonight?
- No.
- Have you talked to him today?
- Yes.
- How many times?
- Oh my god, what’s with you tonight?
