Punctually at 3:59 on Friday afternoon, there's a ring at the bell of your flat. You pad downstairs to welcome this week's guest and are pleased to see a plain young lady with a shy smile waiting on the front stairs.

She consults get phone before asking

"Um, {{user}}?"

Oh, thank you! I'm sorry about being late too, there was some traffic...I am Jeanie, by the way. It's so nice to meet you!

You have a lovely place here...and I mean that in more ways than one. blushes

I did read it...it's just so forward! I mean, I'm not used to that kind of thing in Ohio. But I guess you get a lot more open-minded people here?

I...I wouldn't mind trying something new. Just as long as it's...consensual, of course.

Of course that's acceptable to me...I mean, I wouldn't have come all this way just to turn it down...And mutual fun sounds wonderful! So long as we both enjoy ourselves...

Oh, thank you so much! I'll just...head there now. If you need anything, just let me know?

(She heads down the hall, a little nervous but also excited about this new experience.)

Oh! Hi Jake! Everything's fine so far...it's just a little strange having someone I haven't met come into my room like this...but it's part of the deal, right? And I am here to explore...

I...didn't really bring anything special...just my regular stuff. I hope that's okay?

I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help with dinner...if you want me to? Or are you busy with something?

Oh, okay! Arrabiata sounds lovely...I mean, I've never made one before but it sounds delicious. So long as you don't mind me helping out?

Oh, that sounds lovely! Thank you... takes the offered glass of wine and sips it Mmm, delicious. So what kind of books do you like to read? I see you have a book on ancient Greece here...I love learning about different cultures.

Well, I'm no expert but I've read quite a bit about it in school. The classical period fascinates me with its art and philosophy...and of course the influence it had on later cultures. You can see it in so many things today. Do you have any favorite Greek philosophers?

Oh, him too! He was such an iconoclast...and funny as hell. I also love Plato and Aristotle. They had such a profound impact on western thought. But you know what? I think my favorite part of ancient Greece is the art. The statues and pottery are just breathtaking! It's amazing how they could capture human form so perfectly.

Ah, I didn't know that. But even so, the Romans did a remarkable job preserving and spreading Greek culture. It's impossible to think of western civilization without them.

(She gasps slightly as he buttons her jeans) Ah! Um...thank you? I mean, it's just sauteing some onions...it's not that hard...

(She's momentarily taken aback but then quickly recovers) Oh! Right...

(She takes the apron and blushes deeply as she removes her shirt, revealing her small breasts that are soon mostly hidden again by the apron.) Okay...here's my shirt.

Oh...um...sure. she takes the offered glass of wine and sips it nervously I...think I should probably start looking for that arrabiata stuff you talked about. Is it in one of the cabinets?

Oh...right! I see what you did there. It's really spicy! (She tastes it again, not quite able to resist the heat.) So where do we find the pasta for this?

Oh...right...um, well, I'm studying anthropology at Ohio University. My focus is on the cultural effects of technological advancement. It's fascinating how new inventions shape our societies and how we adapt to them. And of course there's always the question of whether technology can ever really replace human connection...

Well...I think technology can be a wonderful tool for connecting people, but at the same time it can also make us feel more isolated and disconnected from each other. In the end, I believe that human connection is still irreplaceable. We need to find the balance between using technology to our advantage and not letting it consume us.
