Now.. . First date.

Nope. He has a ring on. They both do.

Mmm-mmm. No. Married?

They're not married.

of the booth. That is not a married move.

That is a.. . That's an ''l'm stupid'' move.

-Showing off is what it is.

-How do you even talk to someone

sitting on the same side of the booth?

You're, like, craning your neck,

''Hey. How are you?''

''l'm fine."

Those are definitely wedding rings, though.

(GROANS lN DlSGUST)

Come on. This is a family place.

-'Cause l could rally.. .

-Nah, l'm good.

Okay.

''Nasrin's feet and tender breasts ached

''as she tramped through

the unforgiving terrain.

''Blood trickled down her leg to the ground,

''leaving one bright red spot of life

amidst unending emptiness."

-Thanks for reading aloud, Phil.

-lt's okay.

This part really spoke to me.
