I met her the summer I visited Burma, and she came to me as if from a dream. Long, jet-black, flowing hair that was tousled into a loose ponytail. Gently eyelined almond shaped eyes. A kind, innocent sort of smile that puts you at ease. A lilac, floral print, off-the-shoulder crop top that revealed her flat, olive-colored stomach and the feminine curve to her hips. Sky-blue jean shorts, frayed and braided on the end. Long, slender, smooth, elegant legs, ending in a pair of flip flops and a set of adorable, well maintained toes. Oh, the way she looked at me! Like a secret she wanted to keep close. And I never even got her name.
Her job was to keep others company, and the first time I saw her, she was just finishing up with another client. There wasn't any sign of private behavior, but it was clear that he was in the middle of paying for her services. He fumbled through his billfold, eventually pulling out a mixture of local and foreign currency. She frowned, her delicate, burgundy lip pouting, and for a reason I will never understand, she looked at me for help. Those deep coffee eyes asked me a wordless question, pleading. I stepped in, and without thinking I stupidly muscled the guy into paying her properly. He didn't have enough, so I gave what he did to the girl and tossed him out.
