Story 726

When in my early twenties, I felt pressurised to go for a drink with a bloke. Once he had got me to go out with him, he told me 'people look at your sister before they look at you because you limp'. When I asked him if that had been true for him, he said that it had been. I never spoke to him again. I've had at least one sleepless night about that and can't rule out having others in the future, even though the comment was said years ago and I am now happily married.
