"I am an attorney. I also like to keep up with politics." I shrug. "Ask me a couple more questions."
"Okay," she says. "Do you know who wrote the Constitution?"
"I believe that was Thomas Jefferson." I grin at her.
"Okay. Do you know who freed the slaves?"
"I believe Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves."
"So you're a history buff too, huh?"
"I mean, I did enjoy history and I'm a bit of a trivia buff."
"Huh," she says. "There has to be something I know that you don't."
"Try a couple more questions and let's see."
"Okay, um…" She licks her lips and taps her finger against her legal pad. "Man, I'm trying to remember what I know that you might not know."
"Okay."
"Okay. I've got one for you. Can you name some of the original colonies?"
"Well, there were thirteen original colonies," I say, grinning at her. "Some of them were in New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Massachusetts."
"Fine," she says, holding up her hand. "You are a smarty-pants. I get it. I wish you would use your brains for good and not evil." She grins.
"Hey, it's not like I'm a dictator or a tyrant running a country. I'm just representing my clients."
"I know," she says. "I'm just teasing you, but you do have to admit it does seem wrong that the bank is suing these poor people."
"I will say that it is unfortunate that they signed a contract stating that they would repay money without taking possession of the collateral first." I nod.
She stares at me and rolls her eyes. "Maybe you should run for president of the United States because that was such a non-answer it's not even funny."
"Oh, I have no interest in politics," I say. "Though, I do care about the laws passed, of course."
"I would ask you how many justices are in the Supreme Court, but I guess you already know."
"Nine, and the Chief Justice is John Roberts." I grin at her.
"And the Chief Justice is John Roberts," she says, laughing. "Man, maybe I should be on your trivia team. I feel like we'd win."
"Maybe," I say. "So what is it that you want to do with your life?" I ask her as we continue going through the folders.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you told me that you want to travel around the world and you want to meet the love of your life and write a book about your adventures, but what then?"
She blinks at me. "I don't understand what you're saying."
"Are you planning on being a nomad for your entire life or…?"
She stares at me, realization lighting up her eyes. "No, not my entire life. I know I don't want to be a nomad. I guess I never thought past the traveling around the world." She licks her lips. "That's actually a really great question. Maybe I'll get married and have kids and become a yoga teacher."
"Oh, so you're saying you're flexible, are you?"
"I know some downward dog." She shakes her ass.
