Two dudes, on a Tuesday evening, outside that gym at 15th and Valencia near the weird laundry locker place, are stretching their quads:

DUDE 1: You think I should? I mean, she came over to my house after work on Saturday, and then we spent like all of Sunday together.

DUDE 2: No way dude, it’s too soon.

DUDE 1 (sadly): Yeah, you’re probably right. It’s too soon.
