Sure the US Biergartens may be nothing like the German ones, but Eric was tired of hearing Judith drone on and on about them. Ostensibly just comparing them, the bias was clear in her voice which she preferred. So he had mentally zoned out after she requested this “health” beer that promised to take the weight off. She didn’t need it, but it was something else she could compare.
When Eric finally noticed some blessed silence, he nearly jumped when he saw an empty dirndl on the bench beside him. Seeing some mousy movements, he reached in and scooped up his friend. She was clearly in shock and Eric didn’t help by laughing at the situation.
When she began ranting again that this would never happen back in Germany, he put a finger on her shoulder and told her that she was here now and to get used to it. Gently he lowered her into his shirt pocket before folding her dress and packing it into his bookbag for safe keeping.
