TARIC- “Monroe...I hate this...but.... I knew I shouldn’t have answered, that was my boss.  There is a problem at the office....”

MONROE- “It’s okay, I understand, plus I was the one that told you to answer it.

TARIC- “I am REALLY sorry about this, and I promise....I will make it up to you.  I will go ahead and pay out the bill, I feel horrible about this....”

MONROE- “It’s fine, but I do expect you to call and make it up to me....if you know what I mean!”

TARIC- “Happy Birthday, Monroe!!”

MONROE- “You remembered!!  How sweet and you brought me to my favorite restaurant!  Wow, Taric you are an incredible guy.”

TARIC- “I try....now let’s go get our seat!”

MONROE- “I am glad to hear that...so how about a kiss, and we venture out of here to what you have in mind for the second half of the date.”

MONROE- “So how is the new job going?  What is it you do again?”

TARIC- “I create websites for business and individuals.  We start with the basics and then add on all the bells and whistles to accommodate the client’s needs.  It’s very personalized to each business, and the individual. I currently am working on my friend,  Liam’s Free Clinic, website.  I really love what I am doing. I am making very good base salary and commission.  The owner is a really nice guy, but he is also a perfectionist and is really dedicated to his work, which I understand…but, he doesn’t have much of a social life. He doesn’t understand that you need to get away from work from time to time.  Even if you love what you do, you need a break!”

MONROE- “Oh, yes…I totally agree.  I love to cook, but some days it’s just not in me and I have to close up early and get away from it.

(Taric’s Phone Rings…)  He tries to ignore it, but it continues….

MONROE- “You should probably answer that…”

MONROE- “Listen, Taric, this has been great. But honestly, I was hoping we could do something a little more intimate.”

TARIC- “I’m sorry, you’re not a fan of art museums, I take it?”

MONROE- “Not really, no, but this was enlightening. I have had fun.”

TARIC- “I hope you enjoy what I have in mind for today...”

MONROE- “If it ends like out last date, I a sure I will!”

TARIC- “Well, we will see....LOL.  But I thought maybe we could hit the new Arts Center.  They did a complete rehab and built a new level.  There are a lot of things we can do.”

MONROE- “I love looking at great art...regardless of what the Arts Center has hanging on it’s wall, as long as I am with you, I have something amazing to look at all day!!!”

Monroe- “Taric, I’m glad you called. I have been looking forward to seeing you again.”

Taric - “ I think we had a real connection, Monroe. It’s good to see you again as well. Thanks for coming over…”

TARIC- “What amazing vintage photography! Love these old shots of places around Sims County.”
