Four years. Plenty of time, or so you'd think. Yet here she was at her best friend's wedding reception, and all she could say was:
"Oblek." The brides blinked in confusion. "Uh," she repeated, "hezky oblek?" That fucking owl.
"Uh... diky?"
"Klobouk," she added, taking frantic inventory of their surroundings.
"Ano?"
"Chci... jiný klobouk."
"Proc-"
"Vidím hezký šperk!"
"We can speak English if you like-"
"Moje žena nenosí šperky."
"You're not married? Listen, we appreciate the effort, but-"
"VELKÝ FLÁM."
They looked at her. She looked at them.
"Dobrý," she said, reaching out to hug them both. "Dobrý velký flám."
