As the dream flashed through my mind, along with the reason for this call, I asked Dustin, "Is it something about Conrad? What happened to him?"

Dustin didn't respond immediately. After a pause, he finally spoke, "You know, you could just ask him directly."

I chuckled. "Well, I just didn't want to stir up any jealousy with his current flame."
