From B8:
"Hey, Mike."
"Two pies and breadsticks. Your lady friend coming over again tonight?" Mike winked - he was fatherly, with a mustache that obscured his upper lip. Somehow, Danny was still using "the girlfriend" to explain his orders away.
"You bet."
The "girlfriend" had started as a tiny lie between Danny and Roddy, when they first dispensed with the courtliness of downtown restaurants and museum dates and gave in to their first pajamas-and-take out night home.
When Danny had balked at Roddy's assumption that they'd share a pie, he'd joked that he'd promised some pizza to one of his housemates and her girlfriend. Quickly enough, they'd started calling the second pizza the "girlfriend" pie.
