She is a tall woman with red hair, and she works as a reporter for the local paper. Jacob: Come to think of it, I believe that I have met her. I think that I met her at a party about two or three months ago. Stacey: That’s what she said. Anyway, when she found that I knew you, she asked me to give you her phone number. Jacob: Her phone number? What for? Stacey: I guess she likes you and wants you to call and ask her on a date. So, what are you going to do? Jacob: I think I’m going to call her tonight. I remember that she was cool and fun. | |
