All Comments on 'Lunch Hour'

WHY do you have to use 'her' name every time you refer to 'her'?

It gets very tedious!!

From the first two sentences of the first paragraph - "All week I had been thinking about lunch on Thursday with Leslie. Leslie and I have been working together for years. "

Why not "All week I had been thinking about lunch on Thursday with Leslie. We've been working together for years." - to the first two sentences of the last but one paragraph - "I got off of Leslie and sat on the edge of the bed. I had Leslie stand with her back to me."

Why not "I got off of her and sat on the edge of the bed. I had her stand with her back to me."?

Use some imagination to avoid the frequent repetition!

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind next time.
