Bachelor Kisses
My car smells like the aftershave Penny gave me for Christmas. 'Bachelor Kisses' starts when I turn the key, jumps in loud and surprises me. I turn it down. There's no traffic on the way home and I'm back in Toowong, back in Bayliss Street, parking in front of the house, in about ten minutes. (p. 20)
Jen arranges to have a drink with friends and Rick and I, not unpredictably, go to the Sunny Garden, the shabby, dimly lit (and gardenless) Chinese restaurant that's become a Monday night regular.
What'll it be? he says, flipping over the pages of the menu and trying not to make eye contact with the trussed-up lobster in the adjacent tank. Feeling adventurous tonight? (p. 34)
