Hello, this is Montague Restaurant, how can I help you?

I have to cancel.

My goodness Vicky. I grow more and more curious.

Enough not to hate me?

Just barely.

Well that's a relief.

I knew it would be.

Perhaps next week?

Next week what?

Next week I will need the table.

Oh are you cancelling this week and booking next week in the same phone call?

No, just idle thoughts. Pay not mind.

Right. Well it's cancelled anything else?

No... I spoke to my grandfather.

Oh?

He said the regulars love you. Their favourite part of booking is now to talk to you.

I'm blushing. That's so sweet.

I mentioned that you were quite talkative and he just nodded at me like he knew.

Well he does, I see him quite often. I also speak on the phone a lot because of a certain idiot.

Do you want to be a waitress?

Not really, what I'd like to do is design clothes but first you need to go to art school and that's what this job is paying for.

I meant at the restaurant, while you work there. I can recant what I told him last month, if you like.

... Thank you for the offer but I'm finding that I actually enjoy this.

Well that's good then.

It is.

I'll most likely call to book the table again next week, we'll see.

Alright, talk to you then. Bye.
