“Nice to meet you, Duke”. Amy says with a smile.

Her mind has already taken a tangent on its own. Duke, and “Turtle’s Shell”. This is not a bad lead... maybe I could trace back his parents’ name … Wait. Hadn’t I just decided to give it a rest, and enjoy the evening? Yes. Yes she had. Amy shakes her head, a little embarrassed at herself. Besides, I could always, you know, just ask. It probably would lead to the same kind of questions being asked back, but…isn’t that what relationships are supposed to be about?

“Beer, please” she says, sitting in front of Mike and smiling at him. She tries to sound as natural and casual as possible when she asks "So... do you still live around here?"
