When he heard Sarah ask about his job, for some reason Steve didn't like it.
During this time when they were eating together, work was always the topic of their conversation.
Could he be selfish tonight and talk about something else? He wanted to get to know Sarah more deeply, what Sarah had been doing so far, what was her favorite movie, or even something as random as her favorite color.
Steve wanted to get to know the woman.
Even though he didn't like the question, Steve tried to answer it politely, not wanting to offend Sarah.
"Tonight… can you not discuss work?"
Steve finally got up the nerve to say that to Sarah.
Did Sarah have absolutely no questions for him? Apart from something work-related?
"Ah, why did you and Ellen break up?"
Steve looked taken aback when he heard the question, before finally changing his expression and suppressing a smile.
