❝Hello?❞
❝What now? A self-introduction?❞
❝That would be great, actually. I'm Kim. Kim Whitton.❞
❝Trev Arden.❞
❝Nice.❞
❝When would you like to meet?❞
❝Is that all? What happened to 'How old are you?' or 'What's your favourite food?'❞
❝Didn't think there was a need for all that.❞
❝...❞
❝Fine. How old are you?❞
❝Twenty-three. You?❞
❝Twenty-six.❞
❝You're younger than I thought.❞
❝What were you expecting?❞
❝I don't know, maybe thirty.❞
❝Do I sound old?❞
❝No! Definitely not, don't get me wrong. It's just because you said that your family was pestering you to get a girlfriend, so I thought you could be at that age where your parents would want you to be married.❞
❝I see.❞
❝Well, I'm almost home, so... we'll talk later?❞
❝Sure.❞

❝Who was that?❞
❝The testicle guy.❞
❝You guys exchanged numbers?❞
❝Yes, Caden. How else would we get to know each other?❞
❝Email?❞
❝Ha ha, very funny.❞
❝So, how old is he? Forty? Fifty?❞
❝Sorry to disappoint, but he's actually twenty-six.❞
❝Okay? Why is there a smile on your face?❞
❝Is there?❞
