So… I’ll see you at 9:30?

I’ll see you then.

I think I was wrong about you.

Maybe I was wrong about you, too.

You know, I’m sure you have a lot of other important people that you should waste your time impressing. Why me?

Because we’re starting fresh and I’m taking it seriously.

A little past my bedtime, but I think I can make it.

Glad to hear it. I’ll wait for you.

Name a time and I’ll be there.

9.30? 

You’re doing a pretty good job, I have to admit.

What else would you do to try and make a good impression?

That’s what I like to hear.

VIP? You sound like you really like me all of a sudden. Careful there, Scott. I do, actually, which I’m fortunate for. I know not many people can say the same.

Well, we’re starting fresh here, right? So, if that was really true, I’d be trying to make a good impression. It’s true, you struck lucky there. 

It was too crowded for me, but that’s a good thing for you. The drinks were good, music was on point. Too long now. About 7, 8 years.

Definitely a good thing for you. I’ll have to hook you up with our VIP area, get rid of that crowded feeling for your next visit. Wow, that is a long time. I assume you like your job?

I knew that, I think. I’ve been there, actually. I’m a copywriter.

You have? What’d you think? And how long have you been a copywriter?

And what do you do, Scott?

I own a club in Los Angeles. How about yourself?

Hi. I’m Tegan.

Hey, I’m Scott.

Should we try again or something? Start over?

I...yeah, sure. We could do that.

They do. They must be right.

Sounds like you and I are missing the trick here.

Mutual friends who think we’re both pretty awesome.

They do, huh?

What?

Just weird, is all. We have mutual friends.

I do.

Huh.

I don’t smoke, thank you very much. But I do speak to Brooke and she says you’re being a total jerk because you like me. I’m starting to think she’s right.

You know Brooke?
