"Hello?"

"Hi, Soph?"

"Daniel, can you hear me?"

"Yes. Why are you shouting?"

"Daniel?!"

"What?"

"Are you there?"

"No?"

"Hello?!"

"Sophie, I think you have shit signal on your phone."

"Daniel? Damn, the reception on this thing is terrible."

"I concur."

"Daniel?!"

"Sophie?"

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

"You're there!"

"Have been for a while."

"Sorry, I was inside and the signal was shit."

"I figured as much."

"Daniel?"

"Yes?"

"Hi."

"Hi, Soph."

"Did you get my message last night? I didn't get a chance to call you until it was really late."

"I got it. I fell asleep while watching a film and didn't hear it ring."

"So, I have news for you."

"Do I need to sit down for this?"

"Up to you. It's not bad news, if that's what you're thinking."

"Ok."

"So... I've been offered a job."

"God, not this again."

"No, you're going to like this. Kinda."

"Are you sure?"

"We'll see."

"Ok, what's the job? No, wait, where is the job?"

"That's the beauty of it. It's going to be based in London."

"London? England, London?"

"Obviously."

"It's not obvious. There's a London in France, in Ontario, in Kiribati, there are several cities in the US named London, and there's an asteroid named 8837 London in Space."

"Right, because my new job would be on an asteroid named 8847 London in Space."

"It's actually 8837, but..."

"England, London."

"What's the job?"

"There's this new fashion label and the designer wants me to be the creative director."
