190 deadtime

"nice to meet you  , aaron ," she said .
during  our brief encounter  kanyn was animated and energetic . clinically , that  she didn't seem  depressed told me nothing .
"i used to live near here ," amy said after we settled at our cramped deuce near the bar . our neighboring dinners were eating in such close proximity that i couldn't stolen the olives and salumi from their plates without fully extending my arms . i was hungry enough that i was tempted ." that was .... two sets of rommates ago ."
"near' seems to be a relative term in  LA  ," i said ." seems to mean fewer than three freeways ."
"only a dozen blocks  or so ," she said .
" how long have you lived with cara and - sorry , with mel and kanyn ?"
" let's see .... five months . mel and kaanyn are old friends rom college .i'm the ...interloper . i met mel on a set last winter . they had just moved into the duplex and were looking for another roommate . my previous roommate was getting married , so ...."
a waitress came by . amy ordered a glass of wine i'd never heard  of . when the waitress turned to me , i said i'd have the same .
" do you know what you just ordered ?" amy asked .
"no"
" what 's  tht about ?' she wondered  , sitting  back against the black chair . she was wearing a silky top in a shade of red that popped against the seat . she was continuing with the modest / not at all  modest fashion theme of the afternoon .
"new things . restaurants with initials . new people ."
"moi ?"
"i'm hoping you might have some insight for me ."
"that's why you're taking me to dinner ? because you want my.....insight about something ?"
her eyes were'n't on mine when she asked the last question. i thought she had developed an interested in my hand .
