I volunteer as tribute!
Thea
Hey. So. That Gillian McAllister thriller I gave you, didn’t see it coming, but it’s a wee bit emotional, so maybe don’t read it unless you want to sob every twenty pages.
Alex
TOO LATE YOU EMOTIONAL SABOTEUR
Thea
ALEX!!!! IM SORRRYYYYY!!!
Also, “saboteur”?! Talk about an epic Scrabble word. Duly impressed!
Alex
Thank you. But I’m still mad about the book. No more pumpkin tortellini for you!
Thea
I DIDN’T KNOW, OKAY?
I was crying so hard, reading it on the bus, the driver kicked me off at the next stop, which was outside Jeni’s ice cream, so then I ate my feelings in a triple scoop of way too much rocky road and now I have a belly ache
IN SHORT I’VE PAID FOR MY CRIMES DON’T TAKE MY PUMPKIN TORTELLINI TOO
Alex
FINE.
Now stop texting me. I have the last 15% of the audiobook to finish while I knock out food prep.
Thea
so… maybe don’t try to cook while listening to that last 15%?
Unless you want the number one ingredient of whatever you’re making to be your tears
Alex
DAMMIT, TED, IT’S GOING TO GET WORSE? I’M ALREADY A MESS
Thea
How about I pick up Mia from preschool today?
Give you a bit of time to collect yourself?
And make more pumpkin tortellini?
Alex
You, my friend, are a bold woman.
Thea
is that a yes?
