Francis took the opportunity of standing still for more than a few moments to take out a cigarette and lit it up. This River stopped him while he was on his rounds. He inhaled deeply and slowly the smoke slowly invading his lungs with their grey tendrils. He listened to River speak. A sharp inhale followed by spluttering when he realised what she was looking for. “I’m hardly what you call model material,” he gently told her as he took out the cigarette. Francis is what he would call ruggedly handsome but he was not something you would find on the cover of GQ.
River offered up a grin. “You don’t have to look like a model. You look like a person, or at least as much like a person as most people on this campus. I want these brochures to be all inclusive and to show as many different kinds of people as possible, which sucks for you, cause it means I’m not gonna stop bugging you until you say yes.”
