The pair is passionate towards each other but know that their lifestyles, career and beliefs is not going to allow them to be in a relationship. The unspoken feelings have left the female disappointed.

Elena – For someone who say they don’t drink alcohol that’s a lot of rum on your picture profile

Steve – I don’t drink, none of it is mine.

Elena – if you say so. but if you ever  need to talk to someone you can always call me.

Steve – why don’t you call me

Elene – I don’t know where you are or what your schedule is like plus I don’t want to upset your wife, since you never introduce us

Steve – oy, why would she get upset? You planning on kidnapping me?

Elena – you’re funny. [ pause] well you could have wished me a happy birthday [ sounding disappointed]

Steve – shit! [ brief pause] sorry, I kept thinking your birthday is the same week of thanksgiving. You know am not good with dates. Anyway, happy birthday  [smiling]   How does 27 feel?

Elena – My birthday was two weeks ago

Steve – why you took so long to remind me

Elena – why did you remove my birthday on your google calendar? At least google would have reminded you. Plus, I waited long enough to see when you would have remembered.

Steve – girl, I said sorry.
