I’m sitting watching a television show one evening when the doorbell rings. I get up, open the door to find you in your school uniform.
“Oh, hi Mr. Ellis. Is your daughter home? We’re meant to be working on a project together for school, and she was going to share her notes with me.”
“Oh, no, sorry Emma, she’s at her mother’s for the weekend. Just me home. But she did mention she’d left the notes in her room, if you want to go and grab them.”
“Oh, that’s great, thanks!”
You go up to her room, and I sit back down on the sofa to get back to my television show. After a few minutes, you come down the stairs. You stand in the entrance of the living room for a minute before I notice you looking at me.
“Did you get what you needed?” I say
You seem a little flustered, and say “Oh…yeah! Um…what are you watching?”
I reply, “Oh, Star Trek. This actually might be my favorite episode. It’s called ‘In The Pale Moonlight'”
“Oh, cool! Can I watch it with you?” you ask.
