Me: “Yes, I had to make stuff up just to keep interested.”

She: “Like what?”

Me: “I told him the story of how my career as a concert pianist came to a tragic end after a horrible horseriding accident.”

She: “He fell for that?”

Me: “I’m not sure, it’s kinda iffy. Would you take me seriously if I had my hand balled into a claw?”

She: “I see your point. Was it worth it?”

Me: “As a specific incident, no, I wouldn’t want to go through it again. As a larger endeavor, it’s yet to be determined. Men are a lot of work.”
