Jake: Rowan! I thought you might have changed your mind!
Rowan: Well – it took longer than I thought to get ready…
Jake: You look great – that’s a pretty top, is it new?
Rowan: Kind of – actually you look pretty good too – I like your shirt.
Jake: Thank you! Well, here we are – both dressed up and sitting in a pub chatting. It’s almost like a date, isn’t it?
Rowan: Not really! I mean, you’re working for a start.
Jake: I can take a break. You OK on your own, Jamie?
Jamie: Of course! You’ve been pretty bloody useless tonight anyway, you didn’t even offer Rowan a drink yet. G and T, Rowan?
Rowan: Please.
Jake: So – how are you feeling? You know, about being nice – is it okay, or is it a bit of a strain?
Rowan: Well, it’s kind of early to say yet – but – but it feels okay so far.
Jake: Hey, that’s good! So – what if I asked you out on a REAL date?
Rowan: You – er – sorry?
Jake: Rowan – why are you staring at my shirt?
Rowan: I’m not! Why would I stare at your shirt?
Jake: Well, I don’t know – have I got something on it?
Rowan: You’ve got butterflies on it…
Jake: Ye-es…you’ve gone a bit weird.
Rowan: Sorry – I just realised that the pattern was butterflies!
Jake: Okay, so this is where you tell me have a severe butterfly phobia and you’re going to go home.
Rowan: No, this is where I tell you that I like butterflies and actually I would say yes if you asked me out properly.
Jake: I’m glad you said yes – but I feel like I missed something there..? Did you agree to go out with me because of my shirt?
Rowan: Oh – I’ll explain another time!
Jake: It seems to me, Rowan, that I have a lot to learn about you…
