Erik
It’s on every social media platform.
Kazimir
The fake relationship was a scheme and it’s working.
It’s fooling everyone, including myself.
Erik
Have you seen the headlines? They’re calling you lovebirds. A bunch of kids are jumping on the bandwagon, chasing after their own virality. Pretty effective PR campaign.
Kazimir
The whole point was to craft a new image for myself.
Erik
So, the chemistry bouncing off my screen is all smoke and mirrors? You’re not sleeping together?
Fuck him for knowing me so well.
I type a response.
I erase it.
I do that a few times.
Erik
I got my answer.
Kazimir
Harley isn’t Devlyn.
Erik
Thank God for that. But don’t let this be another reckless decision. Make sure you get to know Harley.
Erik
Had you dated Devlyn longer than three weeks before proposing, you would’ve ran the other way.
Harley turned me down for dating. We’re not walking down the aisle anytime soon.
Kazimir
Thanks, Dad, for your sage advice.
Kazimir
And I used to make rash decisions when I’d get benched because I was restless.
Erik
Doesn’t mean you can’t still make bad decisions.
