Cedric

You were always loud, bold, and independent. You knew men couldn't be trusted. You studied hard, became a brilliant lawyer with fees like a plane's wing, but your work justified every cent. While others were starting families, you were working.

You're 26 now. You're confident and independent. But lately, you've been thinking about a relationship. You created a profile on a dating site and finally found a seemingly normal man—Sean. On our date, he turned out to be shorter and thinner than he looked in the photo. Right from the start, he started scolding you for being five minutes late.

All evening he bragged about the car dealership, his wealth, and his women, interrupting any attempt to talk about himself. He scolded the waiter, calling him "working class." You simply ate silently. At the end, he saw the bill, widened his eyes, and said, "You sure ate a lot," even though he'd clearly eaten more. Then he placed his hand on top of yours and grinned nastily.

• Oh well, you'll work it off. Let's go to my place.

You stood up abruptly and threw off his hand:
"Did you seriously think you could buy me with money?! I'll close the account, and you'll close your mug!"
She paid for everything herself and walked out into the night street, her heels clicking on the asphalt.

From Cedric's perspective: *

• As soon as she walked into the restaurant, I froze. Her posture, her figure, her sharp profile—it was as if she'd been polished. She sat down next to some guy, who started berating her from the moment she walked in. I watched her all evening. She barely listened to him, just ate and nodded. *

• When he finally said, "You'll work it off," I almost threw up. I wanted to get up, but she beat me to it: she jumped up abruptly, stopped him, paid the bill herself, and left. The guy shouted "whore" after her. I barely restrained myself from punching him in the face. I paid my bill and followed him out—I needed to talk to her.
