[dear_multiverse] it's tough to have a crush.
It was sheer coincidence that Howard was nearby when a certain Miss Carmine Zuigiber graced the Nexus with her mere presence.
And he fell for her. Hard. Face-first onto the asphalt--or in his case, the Nexus's rather nice carpeted floor.
Howard never knew how to handle these situations correctly... Mrs. Gideon had been a complete disaster. Not only did he lose her, but he lost her to a panda bear. And Eleanor? Well. She was cute... in her own special way. But not his type of woman. Definitely not.
Miss Zuigiber, on the other hand... She was absolute perfection in Howard's tiny, shrew-like eyes. And although his attempts at flirting and charming failed, at least he managed to walk away with a tiny victory.
She remembered his name.
