ASPEN
PHOENIX: I had to look up what an aioli is
ASPEN: What? Why?
PHOENIX: Because it’s on the menu for the event
ASPEN: It’s on the crabcake sliders
ASPEN: How do you not know what an aioli is?
PHOENIX: Never paid attention
ASPEN: This is weird
PHOENIX: What is?
ASPEN: You’re being nice
PHOENIX: I can be nice
ASPEN: Rarely
PHOENIX: I’m trying to be better
ASPEN: I guess you weren’t terrible when we had pizza
PHOENIX: Ouch
ASPEN: Just stating facts
PHOENIX: Facts or opinions?
ASPEN: Does it matter in this case?
PHOENIX: I guess not
ASPEN: Seriously, though—what’s with the change of heart? Do you secretly like Christmas?
