"Well, I'm glad you liked it, because this is where you're going to be for a couple of months, so you'll just have to get used to being here," Ryan said.
I nod without saying anything else.
"Okay, I have no complaint, but can I at least have a cell phone handy? I'm not one to be caught up in books or TV all the time…" I tell Ryan, trying not to sound too intense with demanding things of them when, in fact, I knew I didn't have to be.
But I think that was the dumbest question I could have asked, because Ryan immediately looked at me as if I were a freak, as if I were a daredevil who said a comment in a place that I shouldn't have.
