“ If it is, then I assure you that we are but only friends,” Richard said.

“ I understand all that Ann, but I also know... She is not you” Richard whispered.
“ And, I find it unacceptable, that you feign not to know how I feel about you” He put in when she did not say anything.
“ You know we can not work even if we made an effort ” Ann explained.
“ But we have not even tried,” Richard said.
“ Richard, we both know you have a promising prospect with her” Ann replied with a sigh.
“ would you please give us a chance?” Richard asked
