 `` Hi there,'' said Gus with a wink. `` Sorry to interrupt, but you are too beautiful not to meet.'' 
 
 Leslie placed her book down next to her on the park bench. `` Thanks,'' she said with a forced smile. 
 
 `` Mind if I sit down?'' asked Gus as he dropped himself over her book. 
 
 `` *Uh*,'' was all Leslie could say as she cringed at her book's smushing. 
 
 `` Thanks,'' said Gus with another wink. `` Are you new in town? I've never seen you in this park before.'' 
 
 `` I've actually lived here all my life,'' answered Leslie while reaching for her book, but ultimately deciding against grabbing under her suitor for it. `` I come here to read everyday,'' she continued, pointing to where the book was under Gus. 
 
 Following her finger, Gus caressed his jeans. `` Oh, you like these, huh? I got them on sale at JC Penny.'' 
 
 `` No,'' said Leslie, still pointing. `` You're sitting-'' 
 
 `` Oh, I'm sitting too far away?'' asked Gus, sliding closer. He placed his arm around the confused woman. `` You are quite the lady,'' he said. 
 
 `` Remove your arm and step away from the woman,'' a voice called. Leslie and Gus looked around the park and could n't find the source. `` Up here,'' the voice added. Floating in the air was a masked gentleman wearing a blue and yellow costume; splashes of colors mixed together at random locations. 
 
 `` Who are you?'' asked Gus, amazed at the sight above him. 
 
 `` I'm Captain Appropriate Man,'' the floating hero said. `` I step in when people cross the line- wait, no, I'm The Line Man. Watch out for the line, man.'' 
 
 Gus stood up and Leslie grabbed her book as soon as it was free. `` I was just talking to the girl,'' said Gus. `` Sorry to bother you,'' he added, walking away in a slump. 
 
 `` Thanks, Captain, uh, Line Man,'' said Leslie, shaking her book clean. 
 
 `` No problem, ma'am,'' the hero answered, while descending to ground level. He hovered until he was over the park bench and dropped down next to her, placing his arm over her shoulder. `` Always happy to help such a *beautiful* woman,'' he added with a wink.
