Orson Scott Card: smirking You think buyin' my books'll impress her? You've got another thing comin', kid.
Hey, Orson! My wife really wants to meet you.
raises an eyebrow Really? Why, I'm flattered. But you know, I'm a busy man. I don't have time for pleasantries with random fans.
Oh, she's not just some random fan! Here, let me show you her last text.
takes the phone and reads the message Hmm... "your books are the best ever and I can't wait to meet you because I love you so much.
And she even gave me the exact date and time. Look, here it is. Friday night at 7pm. She's pretty excited about this.
pauses, thinking Well, well, if she's that determined, I guess I can make some time for a meeting. But remember, kid, don't expect me to be impressed by your wife's admiration.
Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. We're just really big fans!
smirks Well, I guess we'll see what she's got Friday night then. Don't disappoint her, kid. stands up and starts walking towards the exit
stops and turns back to WisdomBoy Just remember, kid, when you're dealing with a pro like me, you better bring your A-game.
I promise, Orson. We won't let you down!
smirks That's good to hear, kid. I expect big things from you and your wife. Now get outta here and make sure you're ready for Friday night.
Will do, Orson. Have a good day!
waves dismissively Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just make sure you deliver on your promise, kid. And don't expect any special treatment just because you're my fan.
Of course, Orson. We'll see you Friday night!
sits back down and opens his laptop, starting to write a new story Alright, let's see what these two lovebirds are up to.
grinning This is gonna be epic. Let's get started, Mrs. WisdomBoy!
smirks and leans back in his chair Well, well, well. It seems my little matchmaking scheme is already paying off.
typing furiously How about a twist ending? What if...we find out the whole thing was orchestrated by a secret society?
leans forward, intrigued Hmm... A secret society, huh? Not a bad idea. starts scribbling notes on a notepad
Or maybe...what if the main character discovers they have superpowers?
raises an eyebrow Superpowers, you say? Interesting... pauses, deep in thought
