❝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.❞

— Call Ends —

❝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?❞
