Stripes

I loved my striped sweater. It was two shades of grey, and very comfy. It was, quite possibly, my favourite shirt.
"Why do you like that sweater so much? This is the third time this week you've worn it."
"I don't really know. It's warm, and cosy, and makes me feel feminine."
"It does look good on you."
"A complement! Oh Vorik, I didn't know you had it in you."
"Learn something new every day, don't you."
"Oh, I love that Vulcan sarcasm of yours."
"What? I can't tell my girlfriend that she looks good in stripes?"
"Of course you can. And I love you for it."
"I know, but I do think you look better without stripes."
"Oh?"
"You look better without that sweater on."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying if you took that sweater off, you'd look even better."
"I think I like where this is going."
