Hi-Fi

          Today I got a text from Fiona, the girl I dated on Friday night, Tim’s daughter. After all the excitement on Saturday I somehow forgot to deal with her.

 

            Hello Tom! Thanks for our date on Friday, I had ever so much fun! I thought perhaps you would have phoned me by now, you should know you don’t have to play it cool with me, we’re on the same page. But now I’ve made the first move so you need not feel nervous anymore. We should meet again soon, wouldn’t that be super? Fi X x x

 

            Wouldn’t it just? Each line dripped with misunderstanding, I was at a loss for how to respond. In the end, all I could manage was:

 

            Hi Fi! I had a lovely time, thanks. I’m sure we might get in touch again. X

 

            She’s almost worth it just for the opportunity to start every conversation: “Hi Fi!”
