I am spending time with a wonderful woman in a bright, spacious and comfortable house in pretty hills outside of Rome. The interior is decorated in rich colors, and the abundant, large windows look out on attractive views of sunny hillsides through lush shade trees. Feeling hungry, we decide to stroll out for a bite to eat. The weather is perfect, and it is only a short walk to a local deli. She chooses something hot from under the glass display counter. I am unsure what to eat, perhaps feeling overwhelmed by all the choices, and she suggests another hot dish, which I order. As I am paying, we see a sign on the wall that reads, “Prawns – $75/lb.” She says we’ll have to try them sometime, but they look awfully expensive to me. Perhaps she assumes I am wealthier than I am.
We are having so much fun and getting along so well, that I spontaneously lean forward and kiss her. It’s a little awkward, because the sudden, unexpected movement makes her start a bit, and my kiss lands on her nose instead of her lips. This amuses us both, and we laugh and try again, this time succeeding in a nice, comfortable kiss. There is a very warm feeling growing between us. She says, “Hmmm, we’re talking sessions and sessions and sessions here.” I know she means that we are going to enjoy a lot of truly compatible love-making. I say, “Why not? It’s been long enough!”
