"What is your name, little girl? And how old are you?" Rudy asked calmly.
"Why should I tell my name to a stranger who broke into my house?!"
"Uhh… I am not a stranger, actually."
"Then who are you?"
"I asked first, so you have to answer first." Rudy was using a kid's logic while talking with a kid.
"My name is Jessica!"
'So she is…' Rudy smiled at her bitterly and clenched his teeth to control his emotions.
"I am… R… Robert. Nice to meet you. Now, answer my next question. How old are you?"
"I am 15!"
"You are not fooling anyone with that height," Rudy chuckled wryly.
Jessica squinted her eyes and responded, "I am seven!"
"I am… well, 23 years old."
"You cheater!" Jessica hissed.
"Hmm?"
"You didn't answer my question!"
"But I did. You asked me who I am, and I introduced myself, didn't I?" Rudy said calmly.
"I didn't ask your name!"
