"Oh that's right," this prompted Hugh's memory a little further. He did remember this, it had been as he'd been beginning to try to make some friends besides Hannah, if he was remembering correctly, but he shook his head at the apology. "Really, there's no need to apologize," he told Dietre. "I'm glad you came this time, and we can do this again, only with a movie next time around. It's not too late to become best friends over book recommendations and film criticism," he laughed, partly joking, and partly not.
"We should set up a time. Right now I'm in rehearsals for a production in the Capital, so my days are pretty busy, but my weekends are relatively free until the production actually starts, so maybe Saturday night, or I don't know Sunday afternoon sometime? Or, what's your schedule at the carnival like?"
