the rulesIf this is going to work --- or I should say, if you want to make this as easy on
me as possible --- we need some ground rules.
- No giving me that look.
- No, make that, no looking in my direction with those liquid-chocolate eyes, at all.
- No smiling, for sure. Certainly no glowing. 3a. If you smile by accident, and I melt, please put me in a bucket.
- Let's make this simple, wear a paper bag over your head.
- I've got it; we can cut some eye-holes in a sheet and you can just wear that over your whole body.
- Sheets are thin. Better, a blanket. And forget the eye-holes.
- Distance: at least one meter at all times. Touching is out of the question. Now that I think about it, make that three meters.
- We'll have to do something about your deliciously distracting scent... I suppose I can wear a clothes-pin on my nose. Or just stop breathing, which comes naturally in your presence anyways.
- Now your voice. How good is your sign language?
- No, that would require me to concentrate on your delicate hands. How about writing notes?
- Notes are good. Now we can stay in different rooms and communicate by passing notes under the door.
- But then your handwriting would remind me of you. Let's use tapping instead; Morse code.
- As long as there's a door between us, let's make it a meter-thick, solid steel one with the lock welded shut. Just to be safe.
