A little bit more nature than was wanted

Il Capo came to pick me up from the station after I had accidentally drunkened myself in a bar after work.

"I bloody love you!"

As we got out of the car and walked up the path in the dark, I noticed something on the ground in front of us. "Look at that," I said. "It's a leaf," she said and bent down to pick it up, at which point it leapt straight at her face then off into the bushes.

It was a frog. Or a toad. Something amphibious and bouncy. No, not Pamela Anderson in Baywatch.
