The Sound of Your Breath

"There's no answer. It's an interview."
"If you say so."

What would I call it? I always had a hard time figuring out women and what they meant. It wasn't as easy as what they said. There would be some hidden meaning and her asking me meant there was one. She wanted it to be more than an interview. What would that be? A business expense? Unlikely, she's talking about movies and daydreaming about lighting from chandeliers-"A date."
"A date and a job all in the same day. Must be my lucky day, I tell ya." Or maybe it's mine.
