"You're one to talk," she said with a small laugh. He was asking about her getting a partner when he had insisted that he was only around for a little while. "I don't have work as an excuse but I don't even know how to find a partner anymore. Tried universities, libraries, different work departments, there's few decent men out there anymore. Now your excuse is even more ridiculous. Mine was work and now it's going to be her. A guy will arrive when he's supposed to. You however are avoiding it because you don't know what the future is going to hold," she said to him with a shake of her head.
"What if the next woman you find is supposed to be part of your future?" she asked as Daphne ran up to them and then back to the puppy she was playing with. "You can't avoid having a decent relationship forever. And what are you always looking around for? Always on the defence. No reasonable woman is going to approach you like that. Motorbike attire doesn't need to be worn at a dog park. Are you expecting a German Shepherd to jump you?" she asked with a smirk.
