— Mark?
— Yes, Evie?
— I thought it would be fun to meet somewhere Sunday afternoon...
— We could have beer at O'Malley's.
— I was thinking of something a little more romantic than drinking beer with your friends. I know, why don't we meet at the Public Garden, since that's where we first met last year.
— But Evie, it's going to be really cold and everything is frozen. I like O'Malley's better.
— We can go there after. This way we could kind of celebrate our anniversary in the place where we began. Do you remember what you were doing when we met?
— Yeah, I was working for the Parks department, walking around the Swan Pond, picking up dog shit. That was back when I still had a job. And you came up and just started talking to me and I said to myself, "What kind of girl starts talking to a strange guy with a pooper scooper?"
— See, you are romantic! I think it's so cool that the pond is frozen and you can walk around on it instead of using a Swan Boat. Why don't we meet right on the pond, near the big Willow tree?
— No pooper scooper?
— No pooper scooper.
— Then we can go for a beer?
— Yes, Mark, then we can go for a beer.
