Usually, you didn’t have to do much in order to get a straightforward answer from her. Putting down her own slice of pizza, she asked, ‘Cool with ...hat? What are you talking about?’ Julia swallowed hard, almost choking on an only half chewed piece. Trying to cover up her deer-caught-in-the-headlights look, she attempted a change of subject. ‘Nothing. So, how’s your anatomy going?’ Amy narrowed her eyes accusingly, ‘Smooth, Jules. Now spit it out. What’s going on?’ Sweating, Julia scratched. Then he announced the first winners. Winners!

I said, "If you want to go, let's do it!" We said our good-byes and left.Susie had obviously been drinking more than I (the wine was good, and I was driving). As soon as we got in the car, I asked if I could take her home. She said, "I'm really not tired - or ready. Let's do something!" I suggested a few things, but she didn't respond well to the options.

I told her that I didn't think so because it was my first conference of this type. I tried to cover my earlier glance by noting that from across a room she looked a lot like someone I knew a long time ago with whom I'd lost touch. I was relieved to see that it seemed like she believed that explanation. She smiled and proceeded to engage me in small talk about the conference and our line of work. She always made eye contact in our conversation, sometimes touching my arm for emphasis. I found.
