I don’t have either, but I could arrange to acquire the latter before our date.

There’s always a brother who irritates me one way or another.

Sheri

Everyone has a favorite drink. And I’m not sure that’s how boo-boo kisses work.

Fly

I just don’t care about it enough to have a favorite. I didn’t know there were rules to kissing.

Sheri

You’ve got to have a preference somewhere. Would you drink any beer? I mean, they aren’t written, but they’re inferred.

Fly

I can eat or drink anything. I don’t think inferences count in a court of law.

Sheri

No way. Even the junky beer? Who kisses in court?

Fly

I’d still drink it, but it wouldn’t be my first pick. We could try it out and see.

Sheri

Lol, you’re a nut. Maybe…

Fly

That might be true. So what is your favorite drink? And again, I need a definitive answer to that question. There’s a courthouse in Silent Valley with a pretty nook we could try out.

Sheri

You’ll laugh. Are you making a list of places for us to kiss?

Fly

Probably, but tell me anyway. Maybe, would you be okay with that?

Sheri

Beast. Sir, that didn’t feel like an adequate response. Would that be an exhaustive list?

Fly

A fly is more of an insect than a beast, but I’d still love to know. True, it wasn’t, and I really do like full and complete responses, but I’d be happy to leave that list open to additional locations. Do you have any in mind?

Sheri

You, sir, might be named after a fly and resemble a beast on occasion, but I have it on good authority that you’re a prince among men. Maybe.

Fly

I wasn’t named after a fly, and thank you for thinking I’m a beast. I do hit the gym quite frequently…a prince must always have a princess by his side. Like where? I’m taking notes.
