“What? Say that again!” Jeffrey’s voice boomed through the room, startling the manager to the point where he nearly thought his eardrums would burst.

Seeing another unfamiliar face on his doorstep, her dad looked cautious; he was sizing up the tall young man before him.

“Can I help you?” “Karen's going on a blind date?” Jeffrey had lost all sense of rationale, not caring about the harshness of his tone.

Derek scrutinized him for a few seconds and looked defensive, “What's it to you?” “Give me her cell number.” “Son, if don’t even have Karen’s number, that must mean she doesn’t want to give it to you. I don’t know what you are to her, but my daughter isn’t home. If you have business, wait for her to come back.” Jeffrey tried to speak again, but Derek had already shut the door.

He considered knocking again but knew it was pointless. Besides, Karen wasn’t there.
