FSF - Limitless

Hello,

This was last weeks prompt of limitless - you don't have to use the word and I have vaguely attempted to imply that something is limitless within this piece, I have also written a ridiculously long fifth sentence! I hope you can make allowances for me and enjoy this piece. Check out the others here.

Limitless

She stood there smiling up at him inanely in an attempt to look riveted by his current topic of conversation; the lifespan of diesel engines (a topic that had no end it seemed), it was her fifth date this week and surprisingly not the most boring.

Admittedly, she could have made more of an effort in leading the conversation but she hadn’t yet felt a connection with any of them and hoped her non-participation would make them end the date sooner but she had no such luck!

She had been staring at him in feigned interest for far too long and when she blinked her eyes began to water causing him to look over and notice her for a moment, he frowned a little and paused mid-sentence as if he was going to say something, she looked back at him and raised an eyebrow in anticipation but he just resumed the conversation.

She was glad to be home, flung of her shoes and collapsed into the sofa, she grabbed the TV remote and switched on to see what her Sky box had recorded in her absence.

“Alright mate, it was awful, I will never go on a date you set me up on again man, that woman was strange, she stood there gawping at me and not saying anything, I could see she wasn’t listening so I started talking about diesel engines, and I swear to god I think she was moved by it, she had a tear in her eye and everything!”
