Counterfactual

1. Dirty blonde, long cardigan, plaid skirt, good Christian girl shoes, glasses, no mask. Peeking over at me as I read Harper's Magazine.
2. Brown hair, eyes so blue it hurts my soul, red nails, brown purse, white dots on jeans, black dots on sleeves of her small coat. Neurotic lady with accent, pretty like my mother.
3. Blonde waist-length hair in angelfish tail, Pub on King uniform, severe eyes. Asked us with disdain if we wanted more drinks.
4. Light brown hair, forgot her outfit because all I could look at were her eye-sparkles and her smile. Has to be a Marnie, a Jasmine, or a Rachel.
