Girl with Scarf


Michelle thought about moving to Los Angeles after graduating from UC San Diego, but just couldn't let herself do it. She felt she had a more European sensibility to her, and San Francisco seemed more appropriate instead. She got a job working for a non-profit, and lives with two of her girl friends from college. She rides her bike on the weekends, to the park and back. At night, when she's by herself, Michelle talks to her cats in French. She's a bit alienated by the hipster styles of San Francisco, and feels out of place in Mission, but chooses to live their over the Marina anyway.

I imagine taking her to a foreign film at the Castro Theater, walking arm in arm to a cafe where we both get a glass of wine. I imagine that Michelle would love to tease me, and make fun of the fact that I want to kiss her, but at the end of the night she'd allow it anyway. It wouldn't go anywhere past there though, because Michelle tragically, is too innocent and pure at heart to deal with men of this world. After our date, she'd tell her cat, "Il était beau. Mais que suis-je trop fait?"
