Phoebe clinked her bottle with Cindy's, then tilted her head back and finished the remaining beer in one gulp. She looked at Cindy and asked, "Cindy, have you been dating recently?"

Cindy bit her lip and lowered her eyes, speaking weakly, "I'm not in a serious relationship with him; we're just having a casual fling. I'm already 25 years old. Can't I have a male companion?"
