Alden

What are you going to write about after I take you off the market?

Elliott

No game. No game at all.

Alden

Told you.

Elliott

Okay. Your turn. What does it mean to ‘work in philanthropy’?

Alden

I hate this question. It always changes my relationships.

Elliott

Technically, this isn’t a relationship. It’s an arrangement. So, there’s no pressure.

Alden

Ouch.

Elliott

What? I have to test you out during a heat before I commit.

Alden

Wow.

Elliott

I’m teasing you. Now answer my question. Are you independently wealthy?

Alden

… Not independently.

Elliott

What does that mean? Do you have a sugar daddy?

Alden

Ew. Don’t talk about my dad that way!

Elliott

You know, you could have just said you manage donations or something if you didn’t want to flex about your not-independent wealth.
