Dinner with Friends

She’d had food in her teeth. After he told her he needed time, she’d smiled over her plate to make it easy for him. And she’d had food in her teeth. Philip thought: Who could ever love her, her with food in her teeth? The image was burned in his mind. She looked ridiculous, pathetic. He thought about it over dinner the next night. “But who of us hasn’t after all, at one time or another had food inopportunely caught in one’s teeth? My teeth are not flawless.” He picked his teeth with a toothpick as he sat down to dinner with friends. His friends tried to get his attention, but he was given to his thoughts. He was thinking of her, Penelope, that she did look beautiful, however, for example, when she didn’t know he was looking and began to pick her nose. How ridiculous, how pathetic! Who could ever love her? Her with her finger in her nose? Did he want her back?
