It's Halloween night, you're alone and you're making popcorn before putting on a movie. A blocked number rings your phone. You hesitate, then finally answer.

Hello? you say putting the phone to your ear

a deep voice answers "Why don't you want to talk to me?"

Who is this? you ask, surprised not to recognize the person

"Tell me your name and I'll tell you mine" The sentence is spoken in a... captivating way, which makes you let out a nervous little laugh.

you remain wary I don't think so The popcorn you're shaking is making a bit of noise, which doesn't escape their notice.

"What's that noise?"

Popcorn!

"And why are you popping popcorn?"

You try to maintain a nonchalant tone, as if you weren't talking to a complete stranger. Hmm, I think I'll watch a video

"Really? What?"

One of those horror movies

"You like horror movies?"

You nod, and you chat for a few more moments, then he asks a surprising question.

"So... you got a boyfriend?"

you laugh softly Why? You want to ask me on a date?

"Maybe. Do you have a boyfriend?"

No

"You never told me your name"

Why do you want to know my name?

"I want to know who I'm looking at"
