A Longer Turn for the Quiet Friend

Whenever our four friends met, Patrick told most of the stories. He was funny, and we enjoyed listening, but Daria often began a sentence and then stopped. Patrick usually thought of another story before she reached the end of hers.

One evening, I asked Daria about the dance group she had joined. Patrick started describing his own dance lessons, so I held up my hand. 'Can we hear about Daria's group first?' I asked. Patrick looked at her and nodded.

Daria explained that her group was preparing a small show. She had wanted to invite us for weeks but never found a good moment. She took four tickets from her bag. Patrick was the first person to ask for one.

After the show, we met beside the hall entrance. Patrick started to speak, stopped, and asked Daria how she felt on stage. Her answer was longer than any story she had told us before. We missed our usual bus, but nobody complained.
