TAKE IT SLOWLY

“Do you know how to cook?” Alex asked in a low voice.

“Yes. Just a little,” she replied.

“Well, that’s better than nothing.” He looked at her intently, “Because I don’t know how to cook.”

They are already finished eating when Diane excuses herself to go to the washroom.

“I just need to use the washroom for a couple of minutes.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

She stood up and went to the washroom. As soon as she entered inside, she called Margie.

Margie finally answered after three rings.

“Hello, Margie. Are you still sleeping?” Diane asked.

“No, I just woke up. What’s up? Is your shift done?”

“No, I am not at work. I was fired,” she said in a very low voice, 

“What? How did that happen?” Margie shouted in the other line. 

She hasn't answered yet but Margie asked another question.

“What happened?” Even if she cannot see Margie, she knows that her friend’s eyes have already widened.
