❝Do you have any siblings?❞
❝Nope. Do you?❞
❝Neither do I.❞
❝Finally something we have in common.❞
❝You didn't say anything about this, did you? Why are you and Caden living together?❞
❝I moved in with him after my parents passed away. He was the one who got me this job.❞
❝Oh.❞
❝Yeah.❞
❝I'm sorry, I didn't know.❞
❝It's fine! It's been years.❞
❝He's like your guardian then? What about his parents?❞
❝In a sense. I think of him as my brother. His parents are back in our hometown.❞
❝How old is he?❞
❝Twenty-five!❞
❝I see. Is he single?❞
❝He's always been single, but he's so good-looking! I don't understand.❞
❝Maybe he likes someone.❞
❝You think so? I don't recall him liking anyone.❞
❝You could never be completely sure.❞
❝Anyway, did you hear about the carnival?❞
❝Carnival?❞
❝Yes! Oh, wait. Do you even live here?❞
❝Of course I do. Why would I call that specific IKEA if I didn't?❞
❝Great! There's a carnival next week.❞
❝Oh.❞
❝Oh right, you're on a business trip. That's a pity.❞
❝Who will you be going with?❞
❝Probably Caden. One of our colleagues wants to tag along. I think she has a thing for him.❞
❝Really?❞
❝Yes! She makes it so obvious, but he's literally oblivious.❞
❝That must be frustrating. Anyway, I have to go. I'll probably be out all night, so I'll talk to you tomorrow.❞
❝Oh, okay. Bye!❞
