Took several shots, hard to be sure of orthogonality and visibility of dark words against dark background. Shopkeeper emerged, with a skeptical look. I explained, in English (with relevant gestures),
“I know a woman …
(eyes averted, gathering a memory)

(Chest puffed up).
She wears a t-shirt, which reads …
(Dragging a finger across my chest)
‘Dibs on the Cowboy’.
This is for her.”
We exchanged smiles.”
And for you!
