Grace(less) under pressure

THE SCENE:
South Philadelphia. Theia, her brother, his friend, and SauconRunner are walking toward Lincoln Financial Field for the long-awaited U2 concert. Among the thousands of people heading in the same direction, Theia spots a familiar face...


Theia: blah blah blah ha ha ha
SauconRunner: ha ha blah blah blah bl...
Theia: OMG! Hold on. OMG.
Theia rushes stage right toward Ian Laperriere of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Theia: Excuse me.
Lappy turns.
Theia: I love you.
Lappy: Thank you.
Mrs. Lappy: Awwwww.
Theia [to Mrs. Lappy]: I'm sorry.
Theia [to Lappy]: I do. I love you. I miss you.
Lappy: Thank you.
Theia: And I wish you all the best.
Lappy: That is very kind. Thank you.

Smooth. Very smooth.

That is great! But I thought you were going to say you met Bono.

Believe me, that conversation would have been even less eloquent!

HaHa, We were in the middle of a conversation and she just bolts...didn't realize what was going on until I followed her and saw where she headed!

haha, being a Blues fan, I've heard of Ian. I've never told him I love him though :-)
