Chapter 17 VAST AGE DIFFERENCE

• When evening came, I went to Diether's apartment. He greeted me right away and told me he was still finishing the pasta sauce, so I relaxed in the living room. In addition to finishing the pasta, he also made a small bowl of vegetable salad to serve as an appetizer. I noticed them when I looked over the dining table as he was finishing the sauce for the pasta and his entire home smelled like tasty food.
• The television was turned on in front of me with a show from Netflix but I was actually not listening to it nor watching it because my mind was thinking about thoughts that happened earlier in the afternoon. That time when Carver actually asked me to go on dates with him and how he confessed to me about his honest intentions towards me actually gives me a headache. I have thought about what he said over and over again for the past hours but actually thought that there was nothing wrong with going on dates with him because I was single. Carver did not ask me to be in a relationship with him right away but he wanted to go on dates first to allow me to adjust to the situation at first and it was thoughtful of him to do that.
