Ghost
A family member got hurt, and he blames himself for not being available. We went to see them, and he told me the details. When we got home, he locked himself in the bedroom and hasn’t come out since.
Honor
Did you try speaking to him?
Ghost
What would I say? He knows I’m here.
Honor
Wait! Let me ask Fox for a male perspective.
I tap my fingers against my phone as I wait for her to consult her husband. It makes sense she would ask him as male and female brains process things differently.
Honor
Umm... so my suggestion and his suggestion differ vastly. Therefore, I’m giving you both.
Ghost
I like options.
Honor
Great! I think you should make him his favorite food, give him a back rub, and ask him if he wants to talk about it some more.
Ghost
Pass. Next option.
Honor
Was it the massage?
Ghost
No, the cooking. I don’t think we should rely on my subpar culinary skills if we want him to remain breathing. What is Fox’s suggestion?
Honor
Nudes.
Ghost
Sorry, what?
Honor
He thinks you should take a picture of yourself in a minimally dressed state and send it to him. Apparently, that will be enough to snap him out of his head and come find you.
That’s close to what I was already contemplating anyway, and that way, I’m not demanding, I’m coaxing, and it’s still his choice. But I’ve never even taken a picture of myself in a bathing suit, and I don’t really have anything super sexy here either.
Honor
Ghost? You there?
