Coffee And Conversation.
 Greg asks Grace if she'll just give him a few minutes of her time.  He asks her to sit down and he'll make coffee for the both of them.  Grace doesn't waste a moment in coming out with what's been on her mind.  "So how did your ole gal like the necklace?"  He responded, "I can tell by the way she wears it so often that she likes it.  As a matter of fact, you kind of look like her a little bit."  Grace answers, "Oh, so then I fit into your type."  Greg says, "Well, you know the song, 'I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old Dad'."  "Huh?," says Grace?  "Well yeah, you share a resemblance,." responds Greg.    Grace says, "So you mean I share a resemblance with your mother and not your wife?"  Greg responds, "Grace, you think I'm married?  I'm not married Grace, wherever did you get that idea from?"  Grace tells him, "When you said  'my ole gal', I thought you meant your wife.  All these weeks I've been thinking that you're married."  Greg tells her, "As a matter of fact, I was married right after college to my college sweetheart, but it was not a match made in heaven and we saw pretty early on that each of us wanted very different things out of life, so we parted after two years.  No acrimony, and we still talk occasionally.  She's remarried and has children by her second husband.  Well I'm sure glad you let me on what you were thinking.  Now that we have that cleared up, will you give me the pleasure of taking you out to dinner?  I've had you on my mind since the time we met."  Grace responds laughing, "Well I've had you on my mind also and was so disappointed when I thought you were married.  I even told my sister about you."   Greg asks, "So what did she say?"  "Well, says Grace, she may not exactly be the right person to ask.   She's been married four times.  She said, 'Men are just desserts, like the book says'."  "Whoa," says Greg, "She sounds a bit sour on marriage.   Hope you don't see things that way."   "No, I still believe in true love lasting a lifetime, even at this age."  Greg asks, "Will you share with me a little about your life, like were you married also, have any children?"  "No," says Grace, "I went with a boy all through elementary and high school, but it didn't work out in the end.  I've dated other men off and on but nothing clicked for me."  Greg says, "Well you're a knockout, so selfishly speaking, I'm glad you're not attached.  But you haven't answered me, will you see me again and can I take you out to dinner?"  Grace laughs, "Yes, I'd like that."
