Lauren and Sam

Lauren | Sam
Good table manners?
Very – he let me order the wine.
Good table manners?
Yep, although slight black mark for sipping a shot.
This date actually went well. Notice ‘top bantz’ from Sam about his date not downing a shot. Lauren’s answer to ‘what we talked about’ is quite telling:
“Our jobs, five-year plans (I have one, he does not), anti-feminism, the fact that I want to learn taxidermy.”
The “I have one, he does not” is such a burn that Sam is no doubt picking up the ashes of his own head as we speak. And yet they wanted to meet again.
