"Ah, lunch!" Alex cried when the waitress placed the mac and cheese in front of her. Just in time, her stomach had started making loud gurgling noises. She swallowed a huge forkful and moaned happily. She immediately took a second forkful. "It's delicious," she sighed between gulps. "I always got the impression that vegan food was just grayish stuff that tastes like cardboard. But I could live with this. I could totally live with this!" Good conversation and food, what else could she ask for?
She liked the idea of learning how to walk in heels. She liked it a lot, and she told Erica this much. "It would be awesome," she said after another forkful. "I could need the extra inches, I have few enough as is," Alex added with a wink. "Though, I don't think I could really be a stripper." She couldn't envision herself leaving her new cushy job. It was terribly well paid, but she'd feel bad telling Erica this since it might look like she was bragging. Instead, she simply said: "I'm not as cute as you and I have a tendency to start laughing for no reason." Both were true, after all.
