A-Ah'm sure you've got... um... lotsa other ponies waitin' fer yer... uh... s-signature..." she stammers out, shuffling on her hooves nervously. >You smile over the book, then flip back to the inside cover.  You write a little note on the inside again, then sign.   >After a moment of thought, you fish out a business card, scribble something on the back, then close the book around it. "It's good to meet someone that gets so much out of my work, apparently." >You slide the book across the table. >With a slight blush on her cheeks, she tucks it away. >"Th.. thank ya kahndly, Mr. Anonymous.  Y'all have a good day now, y'hear?" >Hastily, they run off. >Later that night, in the privacy of her own room, she opens the book and looks at the back of the card. [Saturday, 8:30pm, The Last Noodle.  Dinner?] >Her face turns scarlet, remaining that way until she falls asleep.
