From L8:
"You see," she started, plucking a tuft of lint from her track suit, "I was in love once, too."
"Uh huh." Seriously?
"When I was twenty-three, I was still unmarried, living in my parent's house on the Main Line-"
"Philadelphia?"
"Philadelphia," she confirmed with a nod. "I was already too old to make a good match," she chuckled and tassled his arm with her napkin, "so my parents set about hosting a series of parties that summer - any old excuse - to introduce me to all the young men."
Danny took a sip.
"At the, oh, third of these parties," she continued, leaning in like Danny was her oldest girlfriend, "I met HIM."
"Him!" Danny wowed his eyes and decided to play along. He could sit with her for a while, he determined. He was the manager on duty, after all.
