Maggie: Fingers crossed for you.

Dermot: You’re doing God’s work.

Tuesday,12:13 p.m.

Dermot: What are you eating for lunch?

Maggie: Ham and cheese my mommy made me.

Dermot: Spoiled. I’m eating a protein bar because Tenille is working me like a dog.

Maggie: She’s a tough cookie. Want me to bring you a sandwich?

Dermot: It’s okay. I have an appointment in ten.

Maggie: Fine, but question. How many books do you have on your TBR? I had a girl just come in with 600. Like, is she even reading?

Dermot: LOL. Right. I have about sixty, but I make a list at the beginning of the year and force myself to read them all before I am able to read anything new I see.

Maggie: That is a solid way of doing it. I don’t have a TBR.

Dermot: No way.

Maggie: Truly. I just read what I see. Total mood reader here.

Dermot: I couldn’t imagine. I need a plan.

Maggie: You? Need a plan? I don’t believe you.

Dermot: Har-har-har.

Tuesday,12:47 p.m.

Dermot: Hey, Maggie.

Maggie: Yes, Dermot?

Dermot: Thank you for the ham and cheese.

Maggie: You’re welcome. I made it myself.

Dermot: No wonder it tastes so good.

Tuesday,4:00 p.m.

Dermot: No buttholes today!

Maggie: Oh, thank God!

Maggie: What does your night hold?

Dermot: Reading, and hopefully texting you.

Maggie: You could call.

Dermot: Now?

Maggie: Now.
