Cecilia: So I've noticed you and Knox have been spending some time together.
Emmerson: Yeah, he asked me to go for coffee with him the other day.
Emmerson: And nothing. We talked, had a good time, and then went home.
Cecilia: So it wasn't a date?
Emmerson: That's just the thing; I don't know! He wasn't super specific when he asked me and I didn't want to make it weird by clarifying.
Cecilia: Typical boy. *shakes head* Did you want it to be a date?
Emmerson: I don't know. Maybe? Kind of. But I barely know him. But he seems really sweet. He helps his parents on their farm and he's trying to graduate early so that he can work for them full time, which is very considerate and selfless.
Cecilia: Mmhmm, sounds like you like him.
Emmerson: I think you're right. *laughs nervously*
Cecilia: *laughs* It's understandable, he's cute! But just be careful ok? Sometimes when guys don't specifically tell you they're asking you on a date it because they have commitment issues.
Emmerson: I am! I don't know if I can let myself get too attached anyway. I'm planning to go to University next year, and long distance relationships don't usually work out too well.
Cecilia: Off topic but, are you planning to come to my Halloween party later?
Emmerson: I don't know. My family doesn't usually celebrate it. I don't even have a costume.
Cecilia: Please!? Halloween is basically a religion in my house! And you don't need a fancy costume. Just about anything works if you're creative.
Emmerson: Ok, but only if I don't have to touch any more pumpkin slime!
Cecilia: *laughs* Cross my heart!
