Do you mind?” she asked.“ Mind what?”“ While you were looking in the mirror I couldn’t help myself and I began fantasizing about you. And I figured if I was going to continue to fantasize about you, the only polite thing to do was to ask your permission. So now I’m doing the polite thing again and asking, ‘do you mind?’”“ No, Nina. I don’t mind at all.” Then she leaned down and kissed him. . Richard Finney
