Now the question becomes, how quickly do I email her?
I mean, if there was a website where you could ask a coelacanth dating questions, and it was called Ask a Coelacanth....
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If Ashton Kutcher has a brother in high school he just applied for a job here. I had to shield my eyes his smile was so bright.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom, wait one day then do a low-key kinda "I had a great time" email. Then call later in the week and ask for a date.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just finished watching the most incomprehensible episode of Cold Case. I swear not a one person's motivation made sense. Plus, they spent an awful lot of time trying to work out which of the bank robbers was the shooter that killed the teller. Don't they all go down for it? Felony murder, or something?
I have pulled out all the docs for my tax returns and put them next to the computer. But mostly I'm obsessing about why my new system won't let me create a set of recovery discs, and wondering about more good toppings for popcorn.
For the record, I think that White Cat popcorn is better than Orville Redenbacher's gourmet kernels. Not noticeably so with a simple topping of unsalted butter, but plain White Cat has a bit more sweetness that makes it the winner. Wholefoods has at least one other brand I need to try, though.

Tom, I was gonna say what Scrappy said, but I realised that it's the arranger that told you the date went well...hmm. I don't see any harm in telling her right away that things went well from your side too (not being to heavy), and then asking for a second date in a later exchange.

last time I tried White Cat I didn't think the kernels were as fluffy as Orville.
I prolly said this before but it bears repeating... my favorite popcorn is popped in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hot sauce and parmesan.

I sometimes miss popcorn (it tears my mouth up.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Hmm. My ability to date during the week is limited, and next weekend in NYC will be Pope-tastic, so getting around might be a problem. Fucking Pope. Just who does he think he is, messing around with my dating life? It's possible that I'm over-thinking this.

you can keep it to an email exchange until you know when you can make time for another date.

Scrappy is wise, Tom. As usual.
Also, you're overthinking it. You crazy kids will be able to find a way to go out next weekend, despite the Pope's best efforts.
