"It is so nice out, Rich!" Trisha said as she walked in front of him, stopping to take out her phone and take a pic of him. "And look at you! I could take these all day of you!"

"You have!" He said, a bit surprised at even her enthusiasm. "You probably taken fifty of me in the last hour."

"I can't help it!" She said, walking back in lockstep with him, not waiting for him to simply catch up to her. "You are so damn cute with that new body of yours! Do you know how good you look?"

"I think I have an idea." He said with a smile. "I am happy you like it so much. I thought after the accident, the surgery, you'd not want to see me."

"Well, I don't know if dating will work..."

"Oh." He said, his mood suddenly shifting.

"Don't take it like that! No, maybe not date, but I want you in my life. I want to be your friend. Plus, babe, you can find any guy you want and you might not have realized it, but I've seen you looking at them."

"I... have I really?"

"Yes, you have, and I know you know. You might not want to admit that's what it is, but you have! Oh, I can't wait for you find someone like that. You'll have to tell me everything!"

All he could do was sigh a bit and smile. She had been wonderful through all of this and she was right. It wouldn't work, men were his preference now, and that he would be telling her it all once he found the right guy. She was even right about how nice of a day it was today. Impressive.
