They were walking and talking, something both of them did a lot of, together and with other people. Too hip for the good of most regular people they grinningly referred to it as promiscuous W&T. His name was Aaron and hers was Nisha. They had lived in each other’s neighbourhood for long enough to know when to stay close and when to give the other distance. She knew, just from listening to him talk, when he was in a tie-on-his-bedroom door space and the same went for him with respect to her sexual activities.
