Smashing Cars

Celine: {Thank you. I'll try to stall them for a week.}

{If I may ask, do you have a girlfriend?}

Throughout all of this time, Jack had never expected such a question coming from Celine. He wondered why she asked that question. Or she wanted to date him? He wasn't sure about it.

Anyway, there was no harm in telling her the truth. So, Jack typed the reply.

Jack: 'Not really. Do you want to take the post?' Of course the last question was just to tease her. Although he didn't know what his feelings towards her were, not unless he confirmed, there was no way that he would start a relationship with her.

Furthermore, he could still remember the words that his mother had told him when she gave him the envelope. She had clearly stated that if he ever wanted to start a relationship, he had to open the envelope.

And since he was sure that he wasn't ready yet, he hadn't opened the envelope.
