17 | Is he single?
Kim | Trev
âDo you have any siblings?â
âNope. Do you?â
âNeither do I.â
âFinally something we have in common.â
âYou didn't say anything about this, did you? Why are you and Caden living together?â
âI moved in with him after my parents passed away. He was the one who got me this job.â
âOh.â
âYeah.â
âI'm sorry, I didn't know.â
âIt's fine! It's been years.â
âHe's like your guardian then? What about his parents?â
âIn a sense. I think of him as my brother. His parents are back in our hometown.â
âHow old is he?â
âTwenty-five!â
âI see. Is he single?â
âHe's always been single, but he's so good-looking! I don't understand.â
âMaybe he likes someone.â
âYou think so? I don't recall him liking anyone.â
âYou could never be completely sure.â
âAnyway, did you hear about the carnival?â
âCarnival?â
âYes! Oh, wait. Do you even live here?â
âOf course I do. Why would I call that specific IKEA if I didn't?â
âGreat! There's a carnival next week.â
âOh.â
âOh right, you're on a business trip. That's a pity.â
âWho will you be going with?â
âProbably Caden. One of our colleagues wants to tag along. I think she has a thing for him.â
âReally?â
âYes! She makes it so obvious, but he's literally oblivious.â
âThat must be frustrating. Anyway, I have to go. I'll probably be out all night, so I'll talk to you tomorrow.â
âOh, okay. Bye!â
