After her date with John, Marie got home at around 11pm. She was somehow elated and at the same time relieved. Suddenly she heard a ping from her phone. It was Jenny.
Jenny Texting... So how did it go?
Marie Texting... Ok. Talk?
Jenny calls Marie's cell phone and she answers.
Jenny: Just Ok?
Marie: Well, better than that. John seems to be a very nice guy. We talked for a few hours. I couldn't believe we talked that long.
Jenny: That's a good sign. He would have made up an excuse to leave early if he was not interested. What did you talk about?
Marie: Hmmm, we talked about work. It looks like he might go into management at Comcast. Ah, and we talked about family, and a little about past relationships, which was a bit awkward.
Jenny: Always is. I think this is great. You've buried yourself in work since you broke up with Cal. Like I've been saying all along, you gotta get out there and have some fun. Life is short! And who knows, this guy could be Mr. Right.
Marie: I know, I know. I do think he is cute in his own way. I've never dated a geek before.
Jenny: I have a good feeling about this.
Meanwhile, after the date, John got home and went to bed. At the office the next morning, John and Harry talk about what happened.
Harry: So, how was your romantic night with Marie?
John: I wouldn't call it romantic per se. John said chuckling... It was nice though. She is quite the inquisitive one. She asked a lot of questions. But I didn't mind really. And she is better looking than I remember her from when we all met.
Harry: Cool. So how did you leave it? Are you going to go out with her again?
John: Sure. I think she will be up for that. I'll text her sometime today to see where we stand.
Harry: Maybe wait until tomorrow! You can't appear to be desperate you know. Make her squirm a little before you call.
John: Man, you are mean. John says laughing...
