Shortly before breakfast…

Dale: So, how did it go with Kelly?

Sarah: It was fine, she didn’t get mad at me, she even turned down my offer to pay for the repair and offered to fix the computer herself. Weird, isn’t it?

Dale: Not so much, she’s trying to be friendlier.

Sarah: Really? Wow. That’s neat.

Sarah: Though, to be honest, she seemed rather absent-minded than friendly to me, as if something else was worrying her.

Dale: …

Sarah: Do you know what it might be?

Dale: Perhaps.

*He sure as hell knows*

Dale: (to himself) This is what I get for asking Kelly what I asked her last night. Luckily, she didn’t take it the wrong way, but she’s too smart, she sure got the point of my question, and she won’t remain silent, sooner or later she’ll ask me about it, and I better have a convincing answer, or this isn’t going to go as smoothly as Lauri and the Gnubb, or Sarah and the laptop for that matter.
