Myron nodded . She's also stunning . You're stunning . Not like that . He was going to argue, but he knew that it would sound too patronizing . When you asked me out, I figured that you were looking for something, I don't know, different . Different how? he asked . Being a 9/11 widow, she said. The truth is, and I hate to admit this, but it gives me something of a warped celebrity . He did know. He thought about what Win had said, about that first thing that pops in your head when you hear her name . So I figured again not knowing you, just knowing that you were this good-looking pro athlete who dates women who look like supermodels I figured that I might be an interesting notch on the belt . Because you were a 9/11 widow?Yes . That's pretty sick . Not really . How's that?It's like I said. There's a weird sort of celebrity attached. People who wouldn't give me the time of day suddenly wanted to meet me. It still happens. About a month ago, I started playing in this new tennis league at the Racket Club. One of the women this rich snob who wouldn't let me cut through her yard when we first moved to town comes up to me and she's making the poo-poo face . The poo-poo face?That's what I call it. The poo-poo face. It looks like this . A li demonstrated. She pursed her lips, frowned, and batted her eyes . You look like Donald Trump being sprayed with mace . That's the poo-poo face. I get it all the time since Kevin died. I don't blame anyone. It's natural. But this woman with the poo-poo face comes up to me and she takes both of my hands in hers and looks me in the eyes and has this whole earnest thing going on so that I want to scream, and she says, 'Are you Ali Wilder? Oh, I so wanted to contact you. How are you doing?' You get the point . I do . She looked at him . What?You've turned into the dating version of the poo-poo face . I 'm not sure I follow . You keep telling me I'm beautiful . You are . You met me three times when I was married . Myron said nothing . Did you think I was beautiful then?I try not to think that way about married women . Do you even remember meeting me?Not really, no . A nd if I looked like Jessica Culver, even if I were married, you'd have remembered . She waited . What do you want me to say here, Ali?Nothing. But it's time to stop treating me like the poo-poo face. It doesn't matter why you first started dating me. It matters why you're here now . Can I do that?Do what?Can I tell you why I'm here now?Ali swallowed and for the first time she looked unsure of herself.
