In whom are you interested?

The Palme twins

Approaching the choir draws some attention. Even though they're having a break, it's unusual for other staff to interrupt, so you get straight to the point.

"Hello, girls," you begin. "A little bird tells me you're both big fans of Chorister Today." Actually, you overheard them talking a few weeks ago, when you were spying on them, looking for an excuse to make the acquaintance of the two lovelies. "Well, I happen to know one of the producers, who's is in town just now and I was wondering whether you'd fancy a double date after practice."

Expressions of confusion and curiosity change to those of excitement and eagerness before your eyes. The twins barely even glance at each other before they answer in unison, as if they've rehearsed speaking together many a time.

"Oooh, yes, Professor! We'd love that."

You arrange a time to meet and leave them to recover their composure for the next hymn. It was all rather fortuitous. One of your undergrads met the producer whilst perfecting her interpersonal skills, without having any idea who he was, even after he told her, until she looked him up later. She mentioned him to you in her tutorial yesterday, in particular the fact that he seemed quite shy and surprised that such a pretty young girl would be interested in him. He did take her to bed in the end, but only after several hours of flirting and conversation and he insisted on exchanging numbers, even though he would be leaving for another city in a few days.

Seeing an opportunity, you had her put you in touch and as you suspected, it only took a link to photographs on the choir's web page, indicating the two stunning blondes you were interested in, to get him to agree to meet up. Now, you quickly send him a message confirming the date is on, only to receive a reply moments later.
