Matty was never lucky with dating, it always lasted too little and ended up badly. He had given up on dating for a long time, but after arguments with his friends, he decided to agree on this blind date his badmates had prepared for him. Might ad well give it a final try, he had thought.

So now he was in front of a restaurant, holding a bouquet of roses George had given him (he wasn't a real romantic himself) and he waited in his suit, sunglasses and cigarette. The smoke blew in the cold London air as he waited.

He suddenly sees a short, cute girl walking towards him. She must have been in her mid 20s, still very much younger than him. She was wearing a short dress (wasn't she freezing in it?) and heels.

"Are you my date?" he asks as he puts the cigarette out on a nearby ashtray.
