"Please don't put that on a business card."
"Oh, a business card would be a great idea. I couldn't put my face on them, though, because men would immediately be discouraged by how much better-looking I am than them," Giorgio prattles on.
I choke on a laugh as I steal one of Giorgio's nachos. Whatever lab Giorgio was made in, I hope there aren't any more of him. One is enough.
"Thanks for your help," I say when we've finished eating the massive amount of food Giorgio ordered.
"You're welcome. Now, go get your girl."
I slap my half of the bill on the table. "I'm on it."
When I get home, I dig through my desk drawers and find a dozen little sticky notes in Gloria's favourite colour. Then, I start making my own list.
London Young's Love-of-my-Life List
Must have dark brown hair, especially if one strand is constantly slipping out of her braid, bun, or ponytail, in the most adorable way.I stick this one on a hair tie with a yellow flower on it that reminds of the black-eyed Susans she loves.
Must be an excellent cook.I attach this one to a small packet of her favourite candy.
Must love coffee.A bag of coffee beans gets this note.
Must be a diligent, intelligent, and brilliant lawyer who also loves words that almost rhyme.I stick that to an old copy of Black's legal dictionary.
Must be an SB19 fan.This one I put on a CD of their first album.
Must be able to put up with family drama with grace and love.I find a photo frame with the word 'family' on it and stick a picture of the two of us inside. I continue with the rest of the list, finding more and more small items that remind me of her.
Must be a fan of tropical fish.
