A cello with two broken strings and some sheet music.
A cello with a broken neck and a cheap viola.
A parakeet named Viola and an existential dilemma
A new set of computer speakers and a big tall wish.
A mysterious phonecall and a hastily-arranged meeting down by the docks at midnight
A great orchestra to conduct and a happy birthday.
An orchestrated conspiracy and a happy ending.
A swimsuit that fits you really well and an appreciative whistle.
An order for supplements and a pain patch.
a home-cooked meal and a lap dance
A mosquito bite and premature birthday greeting.
A large green sponge and a copy of Das Kapital.
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes and Stardust memories
A cold beer and a jewelers loupe.
A pair of mismatched socks and a copy of the February 2, 1962 issue of Life magazine.
Dishpan hands and an angry toddler.
A full trash bag and a dirty litter box.
trash talk and a box of chocolates
An awkward pause and then a nominating mini-speech.
A pink sweater and some macho posturing.
