I'm reading Steve Martin's
I'm reading Steve Martin's Shopgirl. Mirabelle is feeling sick, and her boyfriend picks her up.Back in the car, he suggests that she stay at his place for the night. Mirabelle takes this as an expression of his caring, which it is. It is just that his caring is a potion, mixed with one part benevolent altruist and one part chimpanzee penis.
