He probably just got back from the bar.
And he gives me a look that says, what the fuck?
What's going on here?
So I apologized.
I said, oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
I sat in the wrong booth.
And I go back.
Meanwhile, Laura is at our actual table, gleefully watching this disaster movie unfold.
She may as well have been sitting there eating popcorn in the front row of a movie.
She loved it.
And Laura has a very sardonic sense of humor, my memory of her anyway.
And I got back, and she was laughing.
She's like, you're as smooth as sandpaper, Connell.
She was laughing, and I just kind of slunk into the correct booth.
Now, to my surprise, that screw up didn't sink me with her.
I thought it might, but actually it didn't hurt me.
In fact, I think it helped me.
I know it helped me because about a date later, we really connected.
We became intimate.
And she later confessed to me that that moment she said to me, and I quote, that actually made me want you.
