Overheard outside the bathroom at Masa - Yonge and Charles

Lauren and I had dinner last night at our favourite Japanese restaurant. We were sat in the most isolated dinning room, unfortunate for eavesdropping but after a while an interesting group were seated at the table next to us. Three guys, athletic, waspy types in rugby (?) uniforms. And one older Asian woman, presumably attached to one of the gents. Their conversation was quite and not that interesting, probably because they had the entire pacific ocean in front of them for dinner. But Lauren and I kept paying attention because, well, they were muscular and men. As we were leaving I told Lauren I was gonna use the ladies room. She said she'd meet me outside. I headed to the washroom just behind one of the gents, I'm gonna call him the Jolly Green Giant. We parted ways as I went into the ladies room and he reached into his pocket for his phone. On my way out he was still outside the bathroom on the phone.

JGG: Hey, no no I'll be home soon, just out to dinner. (pause)
JGG: No I'm with (names omitted) and his wife.

I glance up and catch him oogling me, before I head out into the winter.
