It is not a damn favor. I’m not doing this out of pity. I just want to?—

First, it won’t be free. I will eat all the food

Me

Strawberry

What would be the study subject?
Her thighs. I have a real curiosity about those. Instead, I steer my answer to something I know will win her over.
Me
Didn’t your book have fake dating?
Strawberry

Me

I pay attention

Strawberry
Hmm, good point
I guess it’d be better if you’re my plus-one instead of a friend who has a girlfriend
