M., and ran into another couple we knew at the event. They asked us if we would like to go out to have some drinks. We went to a bar not too far from ...here, and after a few drinks we decided to walk across the street to a nightclub to have a few more. I can't even remember the last time I was in a club, and this place was full of people in their young twenties. Being in our mid-thirties had us feeling a little out of place. We were hanging out by the bar, having lots of drinks, and mixing in. Can I help you unpack?”“Not much to unpack. Just work clothes. Anyhow, when I stop looking I’ll be dead.”“No dress stuff? What if we go out?”“I hope we will. But I want to shop, anyway. Wanna come with me tomorrow?”“Of course. Can we ride in that thing?”“My luxury limo? I’ll be your proud chauffeur.”Richard put all his clothes (except what he was wearing) into the washer and turned it on. Cat made them tea and they chatted while awaiting their parents.“What are you going to study?” he. When he awoke the next morning — it was Saturday — Dhiren immediately regretted allowing Demongay to persuade him. A knot of fear began to develop in his stomach at the idea of stepping out into the open air dressed as a lady. But he had agreed to and he wasn’t one to go back on his word. Anyway, it would be dark; maybe no-one would even see him, let alone recognise him.Dhiren fussed and fretted about what to wear on his first outing as a lady but eventually settled on an elegant black dress,. He was grinning like a possum the whole time, and returning all the gestures in kind. I think if somebody had given him the finger, he'd have returned that, too.We didn't get a chance to see the professor after the game, because of all the confusion with the press. I imagine Mr. Hiroka figured it out all right.I didn't get a shot at the Angels in either of the following two games, but we took two out of the three and were ready to go home at last. Finally, maybe the club would find a translator.
