Do you frequently think of yourself in terms of a lifelong disease?
Lucas
Whoa, no one said disease. We’re talking sleep disorders here, missy.
Scottie
Right. Thank goodness. I’d hate to have an actual disease.
Lucas
Does “love sick” count?
Scottie
No
Lucas
You sure?
Scottie
Night, Lucas.
Lucas
Night, Quinn.
I reread the “love sick” line longer than I should before giving myself a shake and returning to my inbox. I start answering an email when my phone gives four sharp buzzes, a unique pattern Iset for one number in particular. A number that makes me want to abandon everything else.
Lucas
How’s Pinnacle Perk’s finest flat white?
Scottie
Delicious. You have a sixth sense for what I’m craving.
And don’t make some dumb comment about how I’m craving you.
Lucas
Wouldn’t dream of it.
Now that I know you find it …distasteful.
Scottie
Ew.
Stop.
Lucas
Can’t stop won’t stop.
