Brian is Amanda's boyfriend

By the time I take lunch the place is usually empty. Often we just sit and say nothing.

She started whistling and then laughed. I lowered my gaze from the TV and then she smiled her big smile.

"Brian hates it when I whistle," she said.

"And why is that?"

"Because he can't do it."

I shook my head and said, "And I like that you get so much happiness from that."
