On Friday, I was excited for Daniel to read my essay.

When practice came, I went as fast as I could to the diamond. Daniel was already there, somehow.

"Here," I said, casually giving him the big stack of papers.

"That's awfully long, don't you think?" He asked.

"Twenty-seven pages, all single spaced, and font size of the punctuation is twelve, same as the rest," I responded.

"Wow. No wonder it took so long to proofread," Daniel muttered, flipping through the first few pages.
