At Least, Not on My Face

Story Sent in by Julius:

I promised Louise that I'd take her to one of my favorite uptown restaurants. We were both coming from downtown so we met up in a small park, walked together to the subway, and hopped on.

Our destination was several stops away. As we rode I tried to make conversation but she kept avoiding my gaze and side-stepping my questions, as if she really didn't want to talk to me at all.

As the train slowed down to stop at a station a few down from our destination, she turned and stared me right in the face. It was like I had offended her but I hadn't said anything. When the doors opened, she yelled at me, "Desenex warned you!" and bolted from the train.

I was so stunned that I didn't even follow her. The doors closed between us and whisked me uptown.

I stepped off at the next stop, grabbed a latte at a place I knew up there, then turned around and went home. I don't have any idea what she was talking about. I know that Desenex is a type of antifungal medication, but I didn't have any fungus on me that day.
