"Oh okay. I guess I'll just leave."
"No! Stay! I didn't mean it like that!"
"Then what did you mean?"
"I meant that I finally have somewhere I feel safe, here. And I don't want to ruin that."
"Okay. I guess I sort of get it."
"You really thought my name was 'No'?"
"Stop laughing! Maybe it was short for Noel!"
"Fine. You know what? You can call me Ace."
"Like Ace reporter?"
"Yes."
"So you're a journalist?"
"Correct. Now don't leave me hanging! What do I call you?"
"Umm.... how about my name? I've got nothing to hide."
"No. I'm not calling you by your name."
"Fine. Fine. Keeping this safe! Call me Story, because I'm your story."
"You're definitely going to need a lot of work, and I'm here to be your reporter."
