On the day of the arranged date, both Tiffany and Linda showed up full of excitement, each proudly bringing along their respective daughter and son.
The only problem?
The two people actually going on the date couldn't be less interested.
Karl, though he appeared gentle and harmless, was actually quite skilled in the art of avoidance.
Before Linda dragged him out the door, he had tried every excuse in the book to get out of the date—but unfortunately, none of his tricks could outmatch Linda's determination.
In the end, he was forced to give in and go along with her.
Lilian, for her part, wasn't much better off. Despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to follow her mother to the meetup.
The date was set at a café—Tiffany and Linda had insisted it should be somewhere "young people like."
Linda and Karl arrived first.
When Lilian entered the café with her mother a little while later, she nearly turned around and fled on the spot.
