The rhythm in this snippet was excellent. Feels like the sort of book that I could stay up late reading, not wanting to stop. Lovely, tight writing here.

Is there anything sexier on a man than jeans? :) Good one, Sarah!

@Zee Monodee I don't think so. Well, maybe a man in nothing but jeans. :)

Very nice. At this point she has to either bluff her way out ("Sorry, my girlfriend's sitting there.") or go straight for the kill ("I love your pants, can I talk you out of them?")

You are planning on posting the next six sentences next week, right?
