Meme: Lucky Seven

Guh. I'm late to the ball - surprise - but I'm here. Lucky 7 it is. 

Here's a shot from my just completed work, Brainy And The Beast. On page 7, down to the 7th line, here goes: 



"They're good swimmers." I shrugged, not quite knowing what else to say. My fingers tapped restlessly over the keyboard. Now that the work ticket was filled, I was feeling a little nervous. God knows why. Not like the first time I was talking to a guy I found attractive. Right?

"I see." He seemed to like saying that.

Great. I'd completely killed any chance of having this guy take me seriously. At least, seriously enough to get laid. Jesus, when would I learn to keep my mouth shut? I blew out a breath. No hope for it -- might as well get back to work. "Okay. I'm going to go back in the shop, so that I can try to get to your car sometime today."
