Cheryl begins to talk about her family. She’s been married fifteen years and has two kids, one ten and the other seven.
You feel embarrassed, but you tell Cheryl that you only have a cat; no kids or significant other. Cheryl asks about the cat, and you happily tell her everything about Meowser. You can honestly say that you’re enjoying yourself for once.
Cheryl glances at a clock and says that it’s probably time to go back to work. She has a pout on her lips, like she’s upset. It surprises you a bit that she enjoys talking to you, but you’re not going to complain. It feels really nice, actually.
The two of you pay for your lunch and leave.
