The second time she called me, I felt surprised. Why would she speak to me again, if our only interaction was a misdial?
"Hello! I realized I never asked for your name".
"Is this Angelina?"
"Yeah. Bo told me about you and I wanted to know more about you".
"My name's... Miranda".
"Why was that answer so doubtful?"
"I'm just surprised you're calling me again".
"Bo convinced me to do that".
There was a pause.
"We should go out!"
I had never been asked out—so I didn't know how to respond. Also, in my defense, the most we had ever talked was twice.
"We literally never met".
"Well, we should".
"I'll think about it".
