FinnG: For your sake, I hope it’s true. If not, why don’t you let me take you out on a date?

PCoop: A date, huh? That would take away your anonymity.

FinnG: Are you ever going to let that go?

PCoop: How are you handling your anonymity now that you’re the head of the family business?

PCoop: What does your family do?

FinnG: You don’t have to know about my business. However, I hired a puppet who pretends to be in charge of the entire operation.

PCoop: You’re either a smart man, or you’re good at making up stories.

FinnG: Why can’t I be both?

PCoop: You could, but it’s hard to believe that you manage a company, are starting another, and write as a side gig.

FinnG: Believe it, it’s true.

PCoop: Fine, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and will put Greek Gods on hold.

FinnG: You still have faith in me?

PCoop: More like I want to read that essay.

FinnG: So this is all out of curiosity, isn’t it?

PCoop: Probably. What’s happening with your love life?

FinnG: Nothing. The guy I had a crush on seems to be in love with someone else. I spied on them the other day, and… that’s over, and it didn’t even happen.

PCoop: You spied? That’s creepy.

FinnG: I didn’t mean to do it, it just happened.

PCoop: Is his girlfriend cute?

FinnG: I couldn’t see her, but it doesn’t matter. The intimacy between them said everything. That’s why you should go out with me.

PCoop: What about the girl?

FinnG: That’s a complicated subject.

PCoop: Will you write about her in your essay?

FinnG: Probably. That gives me about five years to figure her out—or you can just accept my invitation and go out with me.

PCoop: Would it be wise to date you?

PCoop: I mean, you’re in love with two people. Why add a third one?

FinnG: And you’re in love with two people, so maybe we can fall out with them and fall in with each other. Problem solved.

PCoop: Interesting argument, but I’m going to have to pass.

FinnG: We could be good together.

PCoop: Really?
