Purse

"Appeteasers! Get it? I made it up myself."

Penny rolled her eyes and slipped her phone out of her purse for what felt like the thousandth time, checking to see if enough time had passed yet so she could gracefully leave. It hadn't.

She'd thought it was a cute joke when he'd brought up "appeteasers" when they'd first met. Now she sees that should have been her first clue.

Sighing, she took another swig of her beer. Maybe if she got buzzed enough, Zack wouldn't seem so stupid. Either that, or she would succumb to her urges to strangle him.
