***A Short Story Vignette*** He met her in a club. She was wearing 5" heels that put her at about 5'11", three inches taller than him. "Big heels. You like being taller than people, huh?", he said, raising one eyebrow. "You're talking to me. Does that mean you like being smaller than women?", she replied, smiling. He knew he was in and replied, "For you, definitely yes." The evening progressed. They joked about their juxtaposition, him asking about the "weather up there", and her patting him on the head and even kissing him on the forehead. Before long, she invited him back to her place. She'd taken a Lyft to the club, so he drove. Back at her place, they climbed the stairs to her 3rd floor apartment and went in. She put on some music and came back to him. Looking down at him, she led him in a slow dance. As things heated up, standing awkwardly on his toes to kiss her became a thing for him. "You know, you can take off those shoes now", he said. She smiled mischievously, "Oh, they've been off since we walked in." He looked down to see her bare feet. She smiled and shrugged, almost giddy. He looked back up at her, eye level with her chin. She was definitely more than three inches taller than him, and with nothing on her feet. He tried to speak and barely a word made it out. "Wha...?" "What was that Carpenter's song again?", she said in a sultry voice, bending down so they were eye-to-eye, "'We've Only Just Begun'?" She stood back up, and he noticed he was now looking straight at her neck.
