Corinne did not seem perturbed. “Hurry up. Which song would you like to listen to? I’ll play it for you so it won’t feel
awkward when we don’t have anything to talk about during the call.”
Jeremy remained composed and unaffected. Even her shallow breathing was comforting to her. He replied, “Let’s
listen to ‘Bridge over Troubled Water’.”

singer?”
Jeremy replied, “Simon and Garfunkel.”

never felt such a significant generation gap between us before this, but I feel it now that I’m listening to this song!
We listen to songs from different eras, haha…”
Jeremy stopped typing on his keyboard. He seemed to take some offense to Corinne’s remark. “Are you bothered
by my age?”
Corinne sighed. “There’s nothing I can do about it even if I am. You being older than I am is a fact. We can’t turn
back the clock.”

age, but he did so when it came to Corinne.

“No,” Jeremy replied curtly.
Corinne then said, “Your song choice is a little dated, but it’s pretty nice, especially the lyrics. It’s quite fitting for the
moment.”
Jeremy did not respond to her remark. Instead, he asked, “What songs do you like to listen to? Choose one that
youngsters like you enjoy.”
“You probably won’t enjoy the songs I listen to,” Corinne replied.
“You don’t know that. Put one on,” Jeremy insisted.
Corinne proceeded to play a song that was chock full of rapping, leaving Jeremy at a loss.

preferences and made small talk as three hours passed.
The car eventually arrived at Adam Manor where Sophia’s father resided. Jeremy informed Corinne, “I’ve arrived.”
He then placed the phone—of which the call was still connected—into his pocket before exiting the car and walking
into the house.
Adam had arranged for several people to wait for Jeremy’s arrival. One of them greeted him, “Mister Jeremy,
we’ve been told to receive you on your arrival here.”
