Incandescence wrote: As usual, Kyle was dressed to the nines. Black Armani blazer and trousers, deep red Bill Blass button-up. Perfect smile.
Incandescence wrote:“Jonathon," Kyle said, "perfect speech today." He winked. "How'd the office go once you got back? Get in our test results?"
Incandescence wrote:Jonathon laughed tiredly, “Thanks. It was fine, Kyle, and no, not yet.” He looked around as if in search of refuge from the deafeningly pulsatile flow of youth.
Incandescence wrote:She blushed, let out a tiny laugh, “It is.” They looked at each other for a second. "So, Kyle, who's this mystery person you wanted us to meet?"
Incandescence wrote:“What can I get you guys to drink?” a young woman bristled from behind them. They turned and smiled up at her.
Incandescence wrote:Sarah smiled, “I think we all know who wants their bones loosened.”
Incandescence wrote:Jon smiled sheepishly but didn't answer.
Incandescence wrote:"Come on," Kyle pleaded, "this is The Lebesgue Measure--how can you not get up and dance?"
Incandescence wrote:"Hi!" she squealed, bouncing around and hugging him. "How weird that you'd be here tonight!"
Incandescence wrote:She simply looked at him. Her eyes were dilated, a half-smiled stuck to her face. "I need you, Dr. Graham."
Incandescence wrote:"I'll do whatever you want..." she put her hand on Jon's thigh and began caressing him.
Incandescence wrote:"Uhh--" Jon pushed Danielle off of him, "--nothing. She's, um, this is Danielle. Danielle, this is my fiancee, Sarah." Jon cleared his throat and then quickly explained. "Danielle was a patient of mine."
Incandescence wrote:Danielle's eyes widened as though she'd just been deeply hurt. "Fine!" she spat, clumsily pushing herself out of the booth. "He loves me," she said to Sarah, narrowing her eyes. "He's always loved me."
Incandescence wrote:A sudden explosion of rhythm and beats made them flinch, and, even better, Jon thought, Danielle's voice was muted.
Incandescence wrote:Jon shifted his weight from one foot to the other and waited for a couple who were making out to pass.
Incandescence wrote:"Then why are you so nervous?" Sarah demanded, eyes smoldering.
Incandescence wrote:"See what I did?" Kyle scoffed. "Jesus Christ, Jon--that was hardly my fault." Kyle could tell Jon was hurt, but he wasn't going to take the blame for this.
Incandescence wrote:Jon stormed back by Kyle, who was now talking to a young girl, and then, in a flash of spite, turned around and cut between them. "You know something, Kyle? Don't come by the office tomorrow, okay? Sarah and I are going to Seattle."
