Maggie: I bet Kip was jealous.

Dermot: He was, truly. It’s hard not having thumbs.

Maggie: I can’t imagine. I love my thumbs.

Dermot: They’re needed for lots of things. A thumbs-up.

Maggie: Hitchhiking.

Dermot: For thumbprints.

Maggie: For wrapping gum around.

Dermot: ? Really? I wrap mine around my forefinger.

Maggie: Jeez, Dermot, you’re doing it all wrong.

Dermot: Damn, you’ll need to show me.

Maggie: Done.

Maggie: Dermot?

Dermot: Yes?

Maggie: Thank you for the flowers. They made my day.

Dermot: That was my goal.

Maggie: <3

Monday, 3:30 p.m.

Maggie: How was your morning?

Dermot: Kid puked on me, an older gentleman bent over and showed me his butthole without even a damn warning, and Tenille yelled at me for being on my phone.

Maggie: Oh no. Were you texting someone?

Dermot: Yeah, but she’s worth getting yelled at for.

Maggie: He-he.

Maggie: Sorry you had to see an old man’s butthole.

Dermot: It’s okay. When I left the room, I had a text from this really hot chick eating a mozzarella stick.

Maggie: Dermot! You have to go to the bar and get these sticks! They’re so good!

Dermot: Yeah, I need to.

Tuesday,8:23 a.m.

Dermot: Have a great morning.

Maggie: You too! No buttholes today!

Dermot: As much as I hope you’re right, I’m not naïve.
