Madeline
Hello, Hudson Hayes. I remember you.
Me
I’m in New York for a game tomorrow, but we’ll be back on Sunday. Are we still good for Monday? I’m not sure how long you’re in town, but we can adjust if needed.
Madeline
Monday is perfect. Where should I meet you?
Me
My place would be nice so you can get a feel of where you’d be working, but we can meet back up at Piper and Liam’s if that makes you more comfortable. I know we barely know each other.
Madeline
You’re not a serial killer, are you?
Me
Last I checked I wasn’t.
Madeline
Cool. Monday at your place sounds great!
Me
That was the whole test?
Madeline
No. That was only part of the test.
Me
Can’t wait to see what else you’re going to put me through.
Madeline
Have a good match tomorrow night!
Me
Game. We play games, not matches.
If I played cricket, that would’ve worked really well.
(But thank you. That’s kind of you to say)
Madeline
It’s all the same, isn’t it? You’re trying to get an object in the goal. Match. Game. It doesn’t matter. Go sports!
Me
This is going to be fun.
