The First Message

The ex mentioned too early in the conversation

Oldest line first — the newest line is at the bottom.

Hi Penny — bookshop queue, the fern, and one ex who is now a yoga instructor. I am hoping that is not the whole first impression. What are you doing Thursday?
Penny teacher
Your thread was on your ex, who's apparently a yoga instructor now. I'd rather hear the bit where you ask what I do on Thursdays.
Algy designer
Thursdays I do nothing, which — why do I always answer that like I've been caught? Anyway, 7:30, and I'll be the one at the door at 7:20 looking far too keen.
Penny teacher
Thursday at 7:30 then, and I'll want the screenshot of that yoga ex receipt for the file. Keep the 7:20 door bit, it's the first organised thing you've said.
