[It helps that he didn’t ask, didn’t want her to explain.] Yes, though I am not sure if she will recognize me. [She’s not being entirely truthful, she knows Katelynn won’t recognize her, but it’s easier to avoid thinking about that.]
Well, th-there’s only one way to find out. [He gives a nervous little laugh] I’ll ask her. And if you’d still l-like to talk again sometime, um, [he hesitates, getting out one of his cards] here. My number’s on that.
You, you would? [Glances down at the card in surprise, but reaches out a hand to take it.] Oh, thank you, I… [She gives him a small smile.] I would like that, if you are willing.
[Smiles back at her] Of course. [The card has his phone number on it, as he said, but also his email and website, with a little blurb about how he’s an artist.] I hope we’ll hear from you soon?
