In a Better Mood

“Illya, let’s go to the movies!  Afterwards, we can get take out, head back to my place and watch TV.”

The Russian studied his partner and observed, “Yesterday, depressed; today manic?  You seem in a much better mood.”

“I am, Tovarisch, I just needed some time.  Like you said: It got better.”

Illya grinned.  “So you are now back to your normal nauseatingly upbeat self?”

“One of us has to be, my fatalistic Russian friend.  I’m indebted to you for your understanding yesterday.”

“I am your partner; what troubles you troubles me.”

“I know; that’s why tonight is my treat.”
