She thinks he's funny

She likes men with a sense of humor

My fists clench withoutand so I take in a deep breath and try to talk myself down a few notches

She's doing this for Marina's sake, as I am So, I turn to Cindy, or whoever she is, and try to make polite conversation

"So, Cindy, tell ?"

I watch her as she talks about herself, trying to focus, but all the ti of India and her date and whether she thinks he's a better match for her than I am

I know Marina thinks so

Cindy is in banking, working as a teller at a local branch in don SF She took a securities course and would like to be an investment advisor at her bank eventually She's well-spoken and attractive, and if I didn’t want India, I'd be happy to give Cindy a roll in the hay I ht even consider a second round, if she was particularly adventurous in the hay-rolling department

But all I can think of is whether India likes her match

They're laughing together at so in closer to India, their eyes locked together, and I feel like I have to go over and interrupt, fill him in that India is not his

Of course, I can’t do that because she's technically not mine either

If she ouldn't be at this party pretending to be interested in Marina's dates for us

"What about you?" Cindy asks, and I have to pull myself back into the moment

"I'm the CEO of a tech firm"

"I know that," she says "Marina showed me your bio Tell me more about you – personally I already know the CV"
