Small streamers flap continually in their uninteresting existence of being attached to an extremely cooling air conditioner. The lights are bright. In one corner, slouched in an easy chair with his legs splayed out before and his chin on his chest, is a not-really-that-attractive man in his 30's, naked. Not a drop of sweat on him.

Off to his right, hands on her knees, perfect posture and an over abundance of goose bumps, sits our heroine. She looks in no particular direction. Her knuckles are white and the tops of her fingernails are the dark pink that can only be attained by too much pressure on the tips of the fingers. She clears her throat. She too is naked.
