Something’s up

“Yes, it’s me. Who else did you think it might be?” Paolo decided to go slightly on the attack, although Marcia wasn’t going to let him off easily.

“Do you know who this is then?” replied Marcia, testily.

“Of course I do.” Paolo wasn’t getting the best of the conversation so far.

“Well then... aren’t you going to tell me?”

“Now you’re being a bit silly!” was all Paolo could think of to avoid saying her name. But there was no fooling Marcia.

“You’ve got someone with you haven’t you Paolo? Something’s up, and I think it might be you.”
