Snippet 👀
I lifted the front of my new mini-skirt (the skirt formerly known as shorts) and gave him a flash of the carnage beneath. He immediately stopped chewing, looked down, and started packing away his lunch.
“OK… Zat is definitely an emergency.” He said, “Let’s go now.”
“Hey… No… It’s alright Dr.” I said, “I can wait a few minutes, no problem. Please, finish your lunch first…”
“It’s OK.” He said, looking up at me with a face 2 shades pastier than 10 seconds earlier, “ I am no longer ‘ungry…”
“Oops. Sorry Doc.”
