Hall of Infinite Doors

You pull out of the parking lot and start for Callico's, remembering in the back of your mind that you are Tony.

As you get onto the freeway you reach out and gently touch Nikky's leg. She immediately glances at you as if to say "why are you touching my leg?" You smile back and drag a couple of fingers back and forth.

You struggle for conversation.

"So, you go on a lot of dates?" you ask.

"A few," she replies. "One guy took me to an Italian restaurant. We rode in his limo. It was a lot of fun."

You remind yourself that you are Tony, and that you are not you.

"That sounds wonderful," you reply. You move your hand up to her top and run your hands over her body. Your fingers come across what feels like a small loose thread. It feels like it needs to be snapped off.
