Not this time though. I missed the beer on me punchline. So much so, that I was confused when she clarified what she meant. Yes I get it, we know, your paying for the beer. Except her tone didn't make sense. It took me a second.<br/><br/>"Oh!" *giggle* "Not <strong>on you</strong>, on you. Got it!"<br/><br/>Mechelle adds that my particular poison, is "quite" expensive. That prompts a *smirk* that would seem to say, "oh is it now?" I take another healthy drink, and my glass is now less than half full.<br/><br/>"Mmmm. Mmhmm. <em><strong>Definitely</strong></em> tastes expensive. I don't knoooow ... I think you might be hard pressed to find a better Christmas gift on such short notice."<br/><br/>My nose was booped in kind, which caused the nose ring to remind me of its pressence. I wouldn't call it a negative reminder per se, I'm just not used to it, and I definitely not confident about it.<br/><br/>"Hmmm. I'm open to .. <em><strong>possibilities</strong></em>, though. Challenge accepted?" I ask, locking eyes with her.</span>
