No right answer perhaps
I just wanted to know. Casual inquiry at first, repeat question later and then plead for a little cooperation.
Alright I became somewhat vexed.
I finally got an answer, leaving me to ponder that answer. I squared my shoulders and decided it seemed sincere and I could accept it. All good in my mind. All good till the next time I took leave of my senses and brought up the number again a while later. She looked at me with that all too familiar look and said, you idiot, why would you even think I was serious?
So all of it was a waste. We survived and I leave direct questions out of my strategy of interrogation.
