"Hello!"
"Uh . . . hi?"
"Don't sound so surprised."
"It's just you're not usually this . . . cheery."
"Oh! It's because something great happened to me yesterday. Gosh, I'm so excited."
"What is it?"
"So this guy named Nick--"
"Nick? What Nick?"
"Yeah, Nick. Anyways, so I met him at work yesterday and turns out he's new here. We were talking a lot and he was so sweet and he asked me for a date that's tonight at a place called Red Barn or something."
"Yeah . . . that's great, good for you."
"Oh, God, I've never been on a date! What should I wear? Should I go fancy or casual? What am I even going to do with my goddamn hair? I'm such a mess."
"Wait, this is your first date?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well, your first date should be special . . ."
"What are you saying?"
"You just met this guy, Charlotte."
"Yeah, so?"
"He could be a serial killer or-or a psychopath or something and you wouldn't even know! And besides, he has a weird name."
"Nick isn't a weird name."
"It's so . . . prim and proper like, 'Hello, my name is Nicholas the Third—'"
"Why do you care? Why should it matter to you who is my first date, hm?"
"Like I said yesterday, I want the best for you. I want you to be happy."
"Nick's probably a great guy and you wouldn't even know."
"I don't know, Charlotte—"
"Don't judge a book by it's cover."
". . ."
"Have fun on your date."
"Thanks, I will."
