Summary
If Jack had to pick a single word to describe his first date with Samira Mohan, he thought he'd probably land on painful.
A number of things contributed to the feeling. For one, it was rare that Jack found himself laced into a pair of dress shoes. The last time he'd worn these particular wingtips had been his wife's funeral. In hindsight, a first date and that morbid attachment to them should have prompted him to purchase a new pair of shoes. The memory combined with the constriction of black patent leather suffocating his left foot made him feel almost grateful for the missing right one. The tie around his neck was no better. He knew he wasn't actually being asphyxiated but God, did it feel like it.
