My bad. I had no idea.
Olivia:
It’s fine. Why are you up this late?
Penn:
I’m always up late. Insomnia or whatever.

That sucks. I like to get my beauty rest normally, but I’m jet lagged so…

My stomach does a little flip at his compliment.
Olivia:
If that was a compliment, thanks? I flew home to South Carolina today to spend Christmas with my family.
Penn:
You’re welcome. & That’s cool, didn’t know you were from there.
Olivia:
Yep, born and raised. Play any shows lately?
I ask even though I check the band’s page several times every day and haven’t seen any updates.
Penn:
Nah, got a break for Christmas. Tanner is trying to line up a gig for New Year’s Eve.
Olivia:
Oh wow, that’s exciting!

Olivia:
Oh wow, that’s exciting.
Penn:

Olivia:
Well in that case, good luck!
This time, the exclamation point feels necessary, so I leave it.
Penn:
