You know, having slept on it, the two characters seem passably real. Susan comes across as gently diffident. A certain aurora of easy in the harness confidence and tidal calm surround Ryan. Yet their brief converation evokes a tone of meaning well beyond the mere weight of the words themselves. Best frame of reference in literature, for me, would be T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Pufrock" or "The Wasteland". Curiously, Ryan's horoscope for today: Monday, Oct 1 "You are feeling sober and realistic about love at this time, and are interested in being with people you respect and can depend upon - your oldest, true-blue friends. Also, reaching out to an older relative or another mature, experienced person can mean a lot to you and be mutually beneficial now."
Make it a productive week.! gb (aka, Ryan on an exceptionally well populated, diverse international dating site offering numerous forums with fantasy rich conversation 24/7)

You've gotta feel sorry for Barack Obama's mother as a child - Stanley Ann Durham
Reminds me of A Boy Named Sue
Now who I feel sorry for is all those girls walking around with the name "Andrea".

You have a tendency to introduce rules after the game has already begun. The Ryan in this story (my version) always introduces herself by last name because she's a cop.
Clarity was my intent, JS. Sorry if I missed the mark by your personal, conversational standards.
Appreciate your interest in and posts to the thread (been quite awhile since the last one).

That's all.
