LOBO: Flame? What are you wearing underneath?

FLAME: Silk panties. The same color.

LOBO: Is this something you normally sleep in?

LOBO: Or are you wearing it just to meet with me?

FLAME: I love pretty lingerie. It makes me feel beautiful.

FLAME: There wasn’t really any clue you would be back tonight.

LOBO: No. It was a surprise to me, too.

LOBO: Do you always wear pretty lingerie when you meet with me?

She hesitated.

FLAME: Yes.

LOBO: If you’d known I would be here, would you have worn this one?

FLAME: No.

FLAME: I would have chosen a different one.

FLAME: I have one that’s black.

LOBO: Why black?

FLAME: It reminds me of a wolf. A black wolf.

There was a pause after her admission.

Finally, a message appeared again.

LOBO: What color hair do you have?

FLAME: Red.

LOBO: Ah. The name. I should have guessed.

LOBO: How are you wearing it?

FLAME: It’s all piled on top of my head.

LOBO: Pins?

FLAME: Yes.

LOBO: How long?

FLAME: Past my waist. I’ve never cut it.

LOBO: Very nice.

LOBO: Dare I hope for green eyes and porcelain skin?

FLAME: Yes.
