"Did you know the plural of cul-de-sac is actually culs-de-sac?"
"That's fascinating. You want a grape?"
"A lot of people get that wrong. And I mean a lot of people. It's like graffiti, you know. Graffiti is actually the plural." She took the grape from my outstretched fingers and began to peel it. "If you got some homeless guy to spray paint the side of a train it would actually be a work of graffito. Get a bunch of homeless guys, a bunch of spray paint, and a bunch of trains and then it would be graffiti."
"Consider me enlightened."

After the grape was peeled, she placed the excess flappy skin on the corner of my plate, meticulously poking and smashing it with her thumb until it formed a mushy heart shape.
"It's romantic, see?" she said cheerfully. "Quick, take out your calculator and type in the following cordiform equation: (x2+y2-1)3-x2y3=0. Then tell me what you get!"
"I think I left my graphing calculator in my other pants, actually…"
She looked momentarily displaced, then brightened. "Got any graph paper? If you make an epicycloid with one cusp, it can look like a heart as well!"
CORDIFORM: SHAPED LIKE MY BROKEN HEART.

It's a good thing she's pretty or she'd never make it to the porch-door kiss. Why do I have a feeling that I could ruin a date like this as well?
