“Well,” she said, “I want to ask you if you’d be willing to try something called Sensate Focus Technique. It’s a process that was designed for couples with sexual dysfunction, although—”
“Keep it down, would you?” Frantically, Sam looked around at the closely packed tables. “You want people to think I have a problem in the sack?”
“Sorry,” she whispered loudly. “As I was saying, strictly in general terms, because IN YOUR CASE, SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IS DEFINITELY NOT—REPEAT, NOT—A PROBLEM.”
