His girlfriend's a little calm and dignified for her age, attractive with nerd glasses and hooded sweatshirt. Across a pair of student desks they talk, sip, smile--later, at her apartment, a steaming bath awaits, the forced-water heat register burbles and destroys any trace of the winter outside; the windows' frost breaks up the star-colored mercury light from the street below. They are going to fuck and fuck and fuck, and the world right now is a friendly place.
