Tahlia, "Abby, you're even more beautiful and gentle than I imagined."
Abigail, "Well, thank you. You're quite a looker yourself."
Cornelia, "Enough with the exchanging of pleasantries, you two."
Abigail, "We're not just exchanging pleasantries, we're appreciating each other."
Dylan, feeling left out, parked his car and quickly walked up to Abigail, "Hello, Abigail!"
Abigail, caught off guard, finally remembered meeting him a few days before, "Hello, Dylan!"
Dylan stretched out his hand to Abigail, "Pleasure to meet you!"
Abigail didn't really want to engage with him, but his enthusiasm compelled her to reciprocate the handshake. But Dylan didn't let go of her hand, "Abigail..."
Abigail quickly withdrew her hand, "Have you had lunch yet? If not, perhaps you can join us."
She was only being polite, but Dylan actually accepted, "Well, if you insist."
They all entered the residential area, heading towards the building where Abigail lived.
Dylan followed closely behind Abigail, "Abigail..."
Guessing Dylan might be into her, she cut him off before he said something she didn't want to hear, "Dylan, you look pretty young. Got a girlfriend?"
Dylan, "Are you offering to play matchmaker?"
Abigail, "Can I set you up?"
