Reservations is such a strong word. Sounds an awful lot like a date. Which you will remember, I said I’m not doing with you.” “You did say that. But that was before we bonded over shopping.” “This was not true shopping. You consulted while I purchased necessary supplies. I’m not dating you.” “Is that your final answer?
