I don't even know what you're talking about anymore, but at least I'm still on the hot list.

So. One clothes drawer one sex drawer?

Two clothes drawers, one sex drawer. And half my closet. Final offer.

Half the closet? I don't have enough clothes for that!

Yeah, well, neither do I. And maybe we'll have to change that. Get you some spiffy sexy suits. More than two pairs of jeans- which isn't a dig. I only have three.

Is that your thing? Seeing me in suits?

I dunno if I can pull that off anymore. My left is always too tight.

I can get more jeans, though.

I'd like to see you in at least one and see if it's my thing.

And that, my sexy leftie, is what bespoke stores are for. You're not the only person with alteration needs.

[For similar or different reasons; missing appendages, or accident or birth defects that required alterations. They happened. And those individuals could still bling out.]

More jeans. Sweats. Oh god, please get sweats.

Yeah, I know, but- I don't like those places. They get all touchy-feely with you. They ask a lot of questions.

But- I can try and find something that works.

Sweats? Really? Well damn, I'll go get more sweats.

Good ones don't. But the touchy thing... you mean about the measuring? Because if you're that uncomfortable with it, I can get them to let me do that so it's not a stranger touching you.

[Compromise. She was the queen of it.]

Oh, yeah. Grey sweats, not black or white. Grey.

Yeah, I guess- the measuring and just how they probably run their hands all over you. They're so not gonna let you do it instead.

[As if that would be such a hardship for her.]

Why grey?

Ah. Well, from what I understand having to get fittings for dresses for some of Trish's events, it's to lay the fabric right and see if it pulls. It's why they get you to move so much during one. See what catches. And if you want a really nice slick suit that fits you, they'll have to adjust for your body movement. But we can also just go off the rack if you'd prefer. I want you happy more than I want you gussied up.

[Her life was so tragic. Don't make her have to fondle her husband on top of it.]

It's a thing. Maybe you should google it.

[Cheeky smirk.]

I don't know. Maybe the one off the rack might be easier. But I want it to be something you find sexy.

[He will google it.]

All I see are ads for Old Navy and Fabletics...

I like everything you wear and don't wear, James.

[Laughing now.]

Google why women like men in grey sweatpants.

Yeah, but... I want you to really like it.

[He rolls his eyes, then googles again.... and reads]

Some say that gray sweatpants on men can be appealing because they can be seen as the male equivalent of "no-makeup makeup". They can showcase a man's attractiveness without appearing as if he's trying too hard, and can even be considered pajamas. Gray sweatpants can also be considered masculine and neutral, which can allow men to be more colorful with their other clothing choices, such as jackets or t-shirts. For example, blue is a natural pairing for gray sweatpants.

Wow.

... That's a shit answer, Google. Jesus. Okay. The real reason most women, or at least, why I would like you in grey sweatpants, is because if you're wearing boxers or going commando under it, it shows. And it shows in a way that makes my mouth water.

[Google. You suck.]

[ He has to laugh, because that really is a shit answer. Thanks AI. ]

Oh. Well that makes a hell of a lot more sense. Adding grey sweats to the list. Nothing like being comfortable in that "no-makeup makeup" and getting you all hot and bothered.
