“It’s funny how every time you introduce me to people, ‘This is my girlfriend,’ they’re like ‘Really?! It’s about time.’”
“Yeah. . . I’ve always dated a lot, but the girlfriend thing is new. You know.”
“My friends would be more like, ‘Oh, just another one.’ But really I think you’re only like my sixth boyfriend ever.”
“Hmm. Six is a multiple of three, and they say the third time’s a charm.”
“Wait. Seventh. You’re seventh. . . . But seven is lucky. They say that, too.”
“Mmm. . . We’ll see.”
“Yeah, we’ll see.”
