“Have you been waiting long?” JJ asked, once
she reached the table.

“Not at all,” said Kendal. “Just preparing
myself for another one of our ‘wild nights.’”

“You make it sound like a boring night,” JJ
teased. “Try saying it with a little more oomph this time.”

“Oomph?” Kendal played along.

“Yeah, oomph.”

Kendal stood up, laughed and cleared her
throat. “WILD nights! WILD nights! Were I with thee, WILD nights
should be our luxury!”

“That was much better,” said JJ. She smiled
and took hold of her girlfriend’s hand as Kendal sat back down.
Only this time she didn’t dare let go.
