ME:Also, it’s in your best interest to help out, remember?

NICK:I seem to recall you placing a lot of emphasis on the silent bit in “silent partner.”

ME:Yeah, we need you to silently move stuff while we tell you where to put it.

JACK:Nick. Please come. Save me.

NICK:Fine, but I’d like it noted for the record that I’m showing up for Jack, and only Jack.

ME:Yeah yeah. You love each other, we know.

GEMMA:We’ve been back in school for two days and I already hate my life so I’ll be there but only if I can drink while we work.

NICK:Yeah, that’s a huge liability so that’s gonna be a no.

GEMMA:What happened to silent?

JACK:I’m bringing you dinner, what do you want?

ME:You don’t have to do that, I’m almost done, swear.

JACK:Yeah, I know how that goes. Almost done means two more hours.

JACK:Did you eat lunch?

ME:I had a bag of pretzels and a Gatorade, which totally hits all the main food groups.

JACK:...

ME:Pizza sounds amazing, thanks, babe!

JACK:I’ll see you in twenty minutes.

ME:Could you also bring a level? I’m trying to hang some shelves.

JACK:You got it.

ME:And now that you mention dinner I’m kind of hungry. Could you also get a salad? And cheesy garlic bread?

ME:And maybe some cheesecake?

JACK:Already ordered all of that

ME:God you’re amazing. You’re so getting laid tonight.

JACK:Lol. We both know you’ll be asleep before your head fully hits the pillow.

ME:You’re probably right. Fuck. Sorry.

ME:I’m like the worst new girlfriend ever. Sorry I’m such an asshole.

JACK:Stop talking about my amazing, determined, driven, funny-as-fuck, super-hot girlfriend like that.

ME:I love you.

JACK:I love you too. See you soon.

ME:Hi, friends! Sick of me yet?
