… sorry, I think I passed out for a moment

I didn’t remember it making your tits look quite THAT incredible

FIONA

Give me your honest opinion: how do you rate this?

Because I haven’t taken a nude in… a decade, probably?

I have no idea how to get the right angles or lighting or anything

Plus, I’m working with some obvious limitations

SATOSHI

My professional appraisal: this is an exceptional vintage, with outstanding body and legs. Extremely pleasing to the eye, but this pales in comparison to the taste.

FIONA

My professional appraisal, as a writer: your ability to be so sweet and so filthy at the same time indicates a rare talent x

SATOSHI

I’m feeling better already

Though I’m reconsidering asking you to wear the dress tonight, because seeing you in it and not being able to take it off you might end me

FIONA

Also: It’s out!

Fiona!!

I hope everyone is as proud of you as I am xx

FIONA

I hope so too

If I ever get my nerve up to tell them, anyway

SATOSHI

Offer to hold your hand is always on the table x
