[ slow clap. ]

That's too bad, I was hoping to hear about it. Is there something else I shouldn't bother bringing up?

[singlestrand]

Nah, that's it. I'm generally pretty open but you have to admit, if someone leaves NYC to come back to West Virginia of all places-- good things could not have gone down.

[ nope. ]

[eternalboy]

[ leans back a little. ]

I'm sorry.

[ drums the table with his fingers. ]

So tell me about the person you would like to see naked then.

[singlestrand]

[ eva mendes? wait. that's really gay. ]

Uh.

[ too much of a pause. why was she playing this game right now, anyway? it was awful of her. and to be totally honest with ben right now, there wasn't really any men out there she did want to see naked. gross. ]

If they're hot, I mean. I'm not going to turn that down.

[ is that a good save? ]

[eternalboy]

[ that pause was never caused by her modesty that's for sure. he wonders what it was about because that right there was not a believable save. ]

Kind of a broad answer.

But nothing wrong with that.

[ it's very close to something he might say but the total opposite of her earlier answer. ]

You know, I'll say the same.

[singlestrand]

Broad, yeah. [ wait, she thought of someone! it's not true, but it's a hot guy. right? ] But I'll stop being broad, just for you. Charlie Hunnam.

[eternalboy]

He's alright.

[ would sell his kidney to date him tbh. ]

[singlestrand]

[ ok. ]

Yeah, he has arms like he could choke me to death. So hot.

[ ., ]

[eternalboy]

You're into that 50 shades shit? Wasn't he supposed to play the main guy for a while?

[singlestrand]

[ oh, this was something she could talk about. not that she was into 50 shades. ]

I would have went to see it if he was cast in it, but I'm uninterested otherwise. Really. I mean, the kinky shit is great but those books are not my thing.

[eternalboy]

So you are into kinky shit in general but not that kinky shit especially?

I did hear they were badly written.

[singlestrand]

Yeah, terrible. I mean, don't get me wrong-- I tried to read it. I did, I'll admit it. But... terrible... writing.

[ she shakes her head. what was that about trying to get kinky information out of her, ben? she's going to pretend she didn't hear that. ]

[eternalboy]

[ just curiouS. ]

Housewives seem to like it alright.

[ he'll buy Trent a copy for christmas. ]

[singlestrand]

[ not talk for a first "date". or is it. ]

They're housewives. Who blames them? It's the hottest thing they've read in their life.

[eternalboy]

[ it could be. ]

I don't know that many housewives so I'll just take your word for it.

[singlestrand]

My stepmother eats that shit up, it's why I got my hands on a copy before. [ shrugs. ] It's awful, really. Not BDSM at all.

[eternalboy]

A stepmom with a bad taste. Uh huh.
