“Where did you buy this? The slutty sweater store?” Jane asked Javi the first time she put on the sweater he gave her for Christmas.

“Oh! It looks so good!” He said, nodding his head. “I think I got it at the Gap? I can’t remember.”

Jane smiled and shimmied her shoulders as she walked toward him. “Merry Christmas, Javi.” she said. They kissed. “I can’t wear this tonight. It’s 14 degrees out and there may be children in the restaurant.”

“It’s a sweater!” Javi reasoned.

“Grab the coats, we’re late!” They put their coats on and closed the door behind them. Javi locked the door and slid the keys into his pocket.

“Hey, let’s get a dog and name him Bob.” Jane said as they walked to the staircase.

“I hate dogs,” Javi replied, “because I am one.”

“Very funny,” she teased. Jane paused for a moment before making her final decision. “Well I’m getting one. He already has a name.”
