My friend
From Create Your Own Story
"A friend invited me. She wanted to go out and asked me to come with her."
"Seems like she has good taste."
"Well, she certainly knows how to have fun."
"What about you, Sarah? What do you like to do for fun?" Even up close, Darren's expression is hard to read.
Is he hitting on me? Or am I misreading the situation?
"What's wrong, Sarah? Why can't you answer such a simple question?" He looks into my eyes, and I'm reminded of why I've always avoided him. There was always something unnerving about him. Something intense.
"I... I don't know. I forgot your question." Darren laughs victoriously before smirking at me.
He's well aware of the effect he has on me, and he's clearly enjoying it.
"I was just surprised to see you and felt like saying hi."
"Nice of you to do so. But I'm a busy man... I'll call Ronan to escort you."
"Wait!"
"Yes?"
He might be my only chance to get money for the mortgage.
"I know we're practically strangers, but I can't help but think that running into you was a stroke of luck... or fate. You've obviously done well for yourself, and I... I'm in trouble."
"Care to elaborate?"
How should I broach the subject?
