Ep.13 Amanda Meets a Source
It was early in the morning and Grant Stoat was smoking his fourth cigarette of the day. He pined for Riko. He did not even know her name. So instead, when thinking about her, he called her my love.
Stoat was not unusual. Almost all men are at some point in their lives completely irrational over a woman. More commonly, they are irrational over any woman who gives them so much as a sideways glance. As for the women who are overtly hostile, they’re just playing hard to get. At least in the mind of the man who is on the receiving end of the hostility.
For Stoat, Riko fell clearly into this last category.
She had given Stoat no positive signals of any kind. Far from being discouraged, Stoat had rationalized that since Riko was a woman, she did not know her true mind. It was a challenge to him that he might win her over.
In many ways Stoat and Roger suffered from a common problem. They overestimated how much attention women might pay to them. Neither of these two men had much to offer. Yet where hope was absent, delusion made a serviceable substitute.
Stoat believed that the stars were aligned and with true commitment and purpose he could win Riko’s heart.
At the end of his nightshift delivering pizzas Stoat’s brain was even more addled than usual. He made a vow to do whatever it took to impress Riko. To show her the real Grant Stoat, so that she might fall in love with him as he had fallen in love with her.
Stoat even decided that he would take a night course at community college if necessary.
Without knowing it, Stoat was becoming a problem.
Mistress Vania did not like problems.
