    Girl: Always the same, stupid conversation.

    Elena: (gratefully) Right.

    Girl: So, how long have you and Casanova been dating?

    Elena: Um, I guess about a month.

    Girl: (raising her eyebrows) Really? I thought it was longer than that. Oh, you know what? (snapping her fingers) I'm thinking of another girl.

    Elena: Ah.

    Girl: You know how it is, with the foreign guys and the local girls. Always a new one each week.Especially someone as good-looking as Casanova – the girls just swarm all over him. ......
