Nautical Foreplay

He's in the kitchen. Lurking. He leans quickly around the edge of the pass-through into the living room, catching a glimpse of her. What mirage, what siren song be this??

He grabs the paper towels and holds the nearly-empty tube to his eye.

"Ar! Pretty Girl Ho!" He calls out.

"?" says she.

"Ahoy, fair maiden!" He calls out.

"Ahoy?" She ventures cautiously.

"Prepare to be boarded!" He flings the paper towel tube to the winds, and dives headlong through the pass-through.

"Eep!" says she.
