Child

Herring

The evening was tranquil.
After a long train trip my charming companion arrived from Amsterdam.
We went to a restaurant where we ate herring and drank vodka.
My companion said to my friend: “You need to have at least one child. I’m willing to help you. If you need my body let me know.” My friend pounded his hand on the table. “I’m happy,” he said.
We drank more vodka and we ate more herring.
The night was tranquil.

Your charming companion is 'amante'.
Your friend is Karol.
Do you mean 'amante' proposed this to Karol? As you write 'companions', it is a bit confusing.

Today I made babies with dandelions on the side of the road. As I biked by them, my foot kicked the babies loose. I am a father now.

People are very fond of giving away what they need most themselves.
It is what I call the depth of generosity

"Companions" was a typo, or a lapsus.

Since how long have you been spying on me? Who is paying you? Whatever he or she is paying I pay more.
