"Oh, Charlie, there you are."
I roll my eyes.
"'Here I am', I blew up your phone, Alice."
She flips back her golden locks
and shrugs,
indifferent.
"I saw a white rabbit."
It's code for 'hot guy' and 'please forgive me'.
"And the rabbit hole?" I inquire.
I'm given a triumphant smile,
and I know
she scored at least a date.
I gesture for her to give me a high-five.
I hope she isn't
disappointed
again.
