"So, look, you're wearing better pants, I'm wearing this confusing hoodie jacket but whatever at least I'm warm, and I didn't make you go to Dunkin' today... can we hold hands? Or can you at LEAST laugh really hard at one of my jokes?"
"Okay, fine, maybe I can just sidle up to you when the dog pulls away on the leash so that it looks like we're hugging."
"Or I could stand behind you and pretend to show you something, like a dude in a movie who is assuming his ladydate doesn't understand pool/darts/golf/archery and has to stand REALLY close behind her to show her what's what."
"Wait, pause, my celly's blowing up and I can't read and mask at the same time."
"I will, I WILL put it back on, just let me see whether the Boston Cannons won the lacrosse championship."
"Is this better?"
