Bobby's mind was still afloat with ideas for the ring, but he wasn't sure exactly how he wanted to procede so he texted his friend Mark to meet.
Mark met him down the road from the mall at a local coffee shop and Bobby explained the ring to him. Surprisingly, perhaps, Mark beleived him, but that was probably because of how well Mark knew Bobby and how serious his tone was throughout the explanation.
"Well," Mark said, "given your taste for older women it couldn't have ended up with a better guy... but do you really want to make Kaitlin any older? She already has an 8 year lead on you... even if she only looks 28 and not 30."
Bobby reaffirmed himself.
"Of course I do. This is an incredible opportunity. Its a fantastic opportunity to take a peek ahead and see how things may be in the future. I was thinking of maybe toying with the gap's span a bit and not aging just her, but Amanda too. You know I've wondered how it would be as she gets older. She's 13 right now and almost the same age apart from me as I am with her mother. Its alright now, but I'm not sure how it will be... awkard or not... in the future."
"Well, the more you talk about it Bobby," Mark agreed, "the more interesting it sounds. I'm not sure if I told you but I just started seeing a girl named Jenny about our age. Maybe we can work out a double date and test this ring out?"
"Haha, well I never thought you'd be interested, but how about tonight? Kaitlin and I were already planning on bar and club hopping tonight. You two should come along. Amanda is staying over with friends across the street so we can be out all night."
Mark agreed and after chatting a little more, they both left and started to each think of how best to use the ring.
