Andy stood with his back to the wall, the cocktail in his hand shaking as his fingers trembled from the exhaustion of the past hour. With his free hand, he fished into his pocket and pulled out a large handkerchief with which he mopped his brow. He then pulled out a cell phone from the same pocket and dialed a number with agitation writ large on his face.
How could you? he said in a broken voice.
The voice on the other end chuckled and replied, ‘Hey, I thought you liked talkative women. And it’s only been an hour on the date, right?’
Andy responded, in a voice choked with emotion, ‘Remind me never to ask you to set up a date. Not with garrulous women who never pause for breath!’
