[On the one hand, she could be honest. On the other . . .]

Oh, it's a bit too late for that. I rather hold your bingo fate in my hand, don't I?

[godcards]

There's plenty of other squares to choose from. This one seemed quickest. [ a beat. ] I just want to get my reward, which means picking the easiest row... It's nothing exciting.

[originallutece]

Apparently not. What else have you completed, then?

[godcards]

I've given a grocery cart ride and shared a secret... Spent time with someone's sibling, and hit someone who broke into Retrospec. So all I need is calling a stranger.

[ That's. A lie but okay. ]

Now that you know, does that make you more willing to help?

[originallutece]

Not particularly, but it does satisfy my curiosity. Whom did you hit?

[godcards]

Someone I know from school... Why are you so nosy? You don't need this information, I'm not even going to speak to you ever again after this.

[originallutece]

I'm a nosy person. And what would you suggest we discuss instead? Our many shared hobbies?

[godcards]

And I'm a private person, so stop asking. If you think you have any hobbies that are remotely interesting, I'll pretend to listen. I have no idea who you are, after all.

[originallutece]

Nor shall you, not if you keep asking so rudely. Which person from school?

[She's quite enjoying herself.]

[godcards]

[ Malik isn't, and perhaps that's clear when he snaps at her: ] Who cares! His name is Dave! He's just a student who wears stupid shades! What does it even matter to you?

[originallutece]

Truthfully?

[She's grinning.]

I wanted to see just how often you'd keep answering.

[godcards]

[ Really, lady? Really?

He's actually so mad that she got his goat that he just

hangs up on her. ]
