He Never Chose Me Until I Stopped Waiting

Summary

After coming home from my exchange program, the trivia board I drew at the party was Francis Matthews.

Everyone jeered and laughed as they asked me:

"Beryl Swanson, tell us Francis's height, weight, hobbies... measurements... and how long he lasts?"

I answered every one, exactly right.

Six-one, one hundred fifty-nine pounds, basketball, eight inches, and how long he lasts is...

I paused, then finished it calmly: "Eighty-six minutes."

Fifty questions about Francis. I got a perfect score.

Kathleen Barnes propped her chin on her hand. "Don't tell me you're actually Francis's girlfriend?"
