I felt a little silly standing here, dressed like this in front of him, with him being fully clothed. But he did seem to like it. “So that’s a no, then? You didn’t buy it?” I took a step toward him, and his eyebrows came together like he was doing intense mathematical equations in his head. He started to shake his head in denial, but only got as far as turning it to one side before he seemed to get stuck, still looking terribly confused as he stared at me out of the corner of his eye. My smile was probably blinding. This was fun. I’d never seen him so flummoxed.
