Mixed signals

At first I didn't really understand what he had said. You know when you hear something that is completely unexpected, there is no box for the brain to put the concept in.

The words bounced around for a few seconds before they could come to rest. By that time he was gone. Riding away. Was I right? Maybe the traffic was loud. I mean he didn't yell it or anything. I watched him for the rest of the stop light. He turned and took another look at me too.

Hmmm, that was a red mesh shirt he was wearing. And he did kind of smile when he said it.

Well I am glad that I look cute in my Under Armour shirt. And for God's sake if Anna isn't around to enjoy my physique, at least there is someone who appreciates.
