I’ve made that so easy for everyone. Including myself.

Lucas wanting me without needing anything from me is the most terrifying thing I’ve encountered in years.

A second text arrives.

Lucas

Does your silence mean you’re sleeping or not proud?

Scottie

Neither.

I was thinking.

And I’m not *not* proud, but considering curfew is a baseline expectation, I’m not proud, either. More like neutral?

Lucas

Wow.

You thought my 100 today was basic and now following curfew is “neutral?” This hurts, Quinn.

Quinny the Pooh.

Scottie

No.

Not happening.

Lucas

Yes!

Quinny the Pooh.

It’s cute.

You’re cute.

Scottie

Bro

Lucas

Don’t bro me!

Scottie

Then don’t pooh me.

Lucas

Those two aren’t even in the same category.

Quinny the Pooh is cute.
