CHAPTER 12. I need a picture of you

  “It’s a before, and then I’ll take an after shot.”

  “You want a before picture of me?”

  “Yes. It will help with my paper. It’s no big deal, and it doesn’t even have to be with your head on.”

  She laughed. “Yeah, it kind of does, but I know what you mean. A picture from the neck down. I’ve seen a lot of them. Erm, sure, where do you want to do it?”

  “Maybe back at my place again. We can drive over now, after lunch, I can take some pics, and that’ll be it.”

  “Oh, wait, what about tomorrow?” she asked.

  “Tomorrow?”

  “Yeah, I’m walking to your place to get measured, why don’t we just do the pictures then? It could be fun.”

  She finished her bagel, licking her lips.

  “Sure, we’ll do it then.”

  He was happy to have an excuse to spend some time with her tomorrow, but he was also gutted that he’d not been able to think of something reasonable to keep them together longer today.
