chapter 6 (the date) (still)

"It is now. I just had to remind myself not to wig. I mean, I've never been on a date with a guy before." Hadn't they already had this discussion? "Let's talk about something else, ok?"

So they did. They somehow kept the conversation fairly light and innocuous, talked about the kinds of things you talk about with someone you might not know all that well - ie, nothing especially pryingly personal - and except for a little food incompatibility, they either agreed on things (the perfection that was a well-fitting Armani suit, although Sam had only ever tried them on, and Aurelian actually owned a few) or had such wildly divergent opinions (on modern music, for one thing) that it made them laugh.
