Halsey:If you’re wet, then slip two fingers against the delicious clit for me and taste yourself.

Blakely:Can you NOT sext me right now? I’m trying to write a wrap-up email for my boss to give to the new hire so they know everything they have to take over.

Halsey:You started it.

Blakely:How about this. I go to the bathroom and you go to the bathroom and we FaceTime so we can masturbate to each other?

Halsey:I’m in if you’re in.

Blakely:Oh my God, Halsey, I was kidding.

Halsey:Baby, don’t play with me. You know I’m up for anything. Last night proved that.

Blakely:Stop talking about LAST NIGHT!

Halsey:LOL. Never.

Blakely:Then I’m going to have to end this conversation.

Halsey:Is that what you really want to do?

Blakely:No.

Halsey:That’s what I thought. Is Penny doing anything special for your last day?

Blakely:Uh . . . why is there a bonsai tree being delivered to my office?

Halsey:Right on time.

Blakely:OMG, Halsey.

Halsey:Do you like her?

Blakely:There’s a bow in her leaves! Halsey, you did this for me?

Halsey:Just a little decoration for your home office. Probably not smart delivering it to work because you have to cart her home, but I wanted something special for you on your last day.

Blakely:I love her. Oh she’s a Chinese Elm bonsai. She’s so beautiful. Does she have a name?

Halsey:That’s up to you.

Blakely:Why am I getting so emotional over a freaking tree?

Halsey:Because you have the best fucking heart I know, and you care about things . . . even if they’re mini trees.

Blakely:I love her so much. I want to put her next to Sherman. Ooo, I should name her with an S name, you know, so they feel cool together. Kind of like how you and Holden did that.

Halsey:That brought a smile to my face. So let’s pick an S name. How about . . . Shonda after Shonda Rhimes. I know how much you loved Queen Charlotte.

Blakely:True, true, but I kind of want this little girl to be her own person, you know? To not have to live up to the name. Shonda gives her some big shoes to fill.

Halsey:I see that we’re going to overthink this. How about you toss out some names?

Blakely:Let’s see . . . Sylvie, Susanna, Shirley.

Halsey:Shirley is cute.

Blakely:Yeah, I agree and it goes so well with Sherman. OMG, they’re going to be the best of friends. Halsey, this was such a wonderful gift. Thank you.
