Summer Vacation
You walk up to her and casually sit in the chair to her left.
You lean over. "Hey can I bum a smoke?" you ask.
She pulls her sunglasses up to her head and looks over at you for the first time.
"Sure, I've got only one cigarette left, but OK," she says.
She hands you the pack and you pull the last cigarette out.
"They let you smoke on duty here?" she asks.
"No...Could we...ah...go behind the building?" you ask, stuttering a little.
"No problem," she replies. She puts her flip-flops on and the two of you walk behind the building and sit in the shade. You feel illicit and dangerous, and very nervous.
She gives you a light off of her cigarette and you inhale. You feel nauseaous and cough a little. This tastes terrible!
She smiles at you playfully, tapping some ash off her cigarette.
"Let me guess, you don't smoke?" she asks.
You try another puff, coughing again, "I'm *cough* trying to quit...it's a *cough* psychological trick."
"Yeah me too. My name's Claire, by the way." she says.
You are happy that you were able to get a conversation going with her. What do you want to ask now?
