"Jacqueline?" Antonio said, making Jacqueline look up to him from her book. "I have to go out somewhere."

She laughed and winked. "Are you going to meet someone?"

He nervously laughed. "Yeah. . . she's someone I met when I was going to get the grocery."

"Ahhh. . ."

"What? You think a 55 year old man can't date?" He jokingly asked with a slight laugh.

Jacqueline shook his head. "Not at all, I'm just surprised. I'll be here, so you have fun. And do give me the details. This is the first time you're going out with someone in a long time."

Antonio passed her a smile, fixed his hair a last time and walked out of her room after saying goodbye. He hated lying to her, really, but he couldn't let Jacqueline know at all that he was, in fact, going to meet Francis and not a woman.

Ha, woman! They're all so out of my league. Le volant solo est le meilleur.

He smirked as he left the house, and then he fished out his phone from his pocket and dialed Francis' number. He picked instantly.

"Are you out of the house?"

"Hello to you too," he replied. "And yes, I'm out. She believed me when I said that I'm going out to meet a woman. As if."

Francis laughed. "Well, players have this attitude. I know a few of them and they have this strict no dating rule."

"So did I," Antonio answered. "People don't believe me when I tell them that I was and still am a player. Beats me why. I guess aging does that to you."

"I guess," he said. "Anyways, you reach at the hospital, then, alright? The nurse is here."

"Yeah, OK, bye."

"Bye."
