Riley: Okay, forget the apologies, I don’t need them. But consider joining me at the gala. This offer will also expire soon, so don’t overthink it. I’ll wait for your response until noon tomorrow.

Dale: You don’t have to wait that long, you already have my answer, and it is no.

Riley: I’m not used to taking no for an answer, and I’m not used to going to any event alone either. Remember, my dad owns practically the entire University, including this apartment, you won’t want to get at odds with me, so think it through, Daley.

Dale: (Thinking) Why do I always attract conflicting girls? (*Sighs*) Okay, I’ll think about it, but no promises. And the name is Dale.

Riley: That’s a good start. Thank you… Dale.

Dale: (To himself) So you want to complicate my life, Riley Woods? Well, you leave me with no choice. it’s time to call Terry. I’m sure he’ll find a way to put a stop to you once and for all.
