Good morning. How was your run?

Fine. It would have been better had it started and ended at your place …

Claire

Rowan

We both know you love it.

Claire

Unfortunately, I do.

Rowan

I miss you.

Claire

Miss you more.

Rowan

Heads up, but my sister thinks her surprise party is a regular dinner, and she wants me to invite you as my plus one.

Claire

What did you say?

Rowan

At first I told her I had plans that night, but she gave me her big-eyed, sad look.

Claire

Of course she did.

Don’t tell me you ruined the surprise …

Rowan

I tried reminding her that you’d just gone out with another guy, but that didn’t work, either. So I eventually admitted I’m just too chicken to ask you to be my date.

Claire

She’s going to hate me now!

Rowan

I was trying to stick to the truth. And you know Daisy loves you … almost as much as I do.

Claire

Nice save.

I still can’t believe the news hasn’t gotten back to her yet. I keep waiting for her to ask about your special delivery at work.

Rowan
