She tries
to build bridges
between us.
Tries to play
her cards righ.
'Do you play
mahjong perchance? '
Wrong. I tell her
I...don't.
'Oh, it's just like
rummy really! '
'Really? '
I tell her
I can't play
rummy either.
Oh dear we are
going nowhere.
The only thing
I can do...is:
..sNAP!
Her eyes gleam
suddenly realising
what we
can do
together.
And that we would
play for real.
