The word prompt from Sheryl: Riveting

We were talking
He said
“I have a job”
“Really” I said
“Yes” he said
“You!”
“a job!”
I said
“Yes” he said
“a job”
“Where?” I said
“On the new
bridge” he said
“You don’t know
about bridges
let along building”
I said
“But I have
a job”
he said.
Weary of this
conversation
I just said
“Riveting”
with a sigh
“Yes” he said
“how did
you know?”
