“How was your weekend?” I asked.
“It was great!” Susie responded, smiling. “I went to this
new bar with my girlfriends.”
“Cool,” I said, absently, not terribly interested.
“What about you?”
“Nothing exciting. Just sat at home and played video
games.”
We fell silent. We didn’t’ have much in common beyond the
fact that we worked in the same office.
Our lack of commonalities was apparent from the moment I
arrived at the office. There’d been a party that day and our boss had
introduced us, assuming that the two young people would have plenty to talk
about. We didn’t.
