admittance of a 'guilty pleasure'

12:30 p.m. Friday. At the library, after my friend returned to work from our lunch out, I found the two Arthur DVDs on hold in my name and went to check them out. I made sure no one was looking as I cheerfully inspected their contents and prepared to use a computer terminal for the check-out, avoiding human contact. Alas, I couldn't find my library card! It had somehow disappeared from my wallet. Distressed, I finally sauntered to the help desk and explained that I lost my card. The young man who was there (slender, about 22, bookish) checked my ID and efficiently scanned in the DVDs. "Enjoy!" he trilled as he handed them over.
