Leesa and I take our coveted seats near the front of the theatre. But me, personally, I don’t care what they do.’ “Where I’m from we don’t do that shit,’ he says in a thick Newfoundland accent. Her husband is sitting grumpily next to her. You have to play it cool or they think, “That girl is cracked!” “I’m happily married, but if I see him I’m gonna kiss him!
