Jade
You know what my best friend Nicole always says?
Matteo
What’s that?
Jade
If he wanted to, he would.
I’m playing with fire and I can’t stop myself. I shouldn’t be taunting or tempting him, but he said it himself—his coach would be pissed.
Jade
I’m just kidding, I know you can’t do that.
Matteo
Are you saying you’d want me to, if I could?
Jade
It’s not an option, so it doesn’t really matter what I want.
I’m supposed to grab dinner with Ellie anyways.
The responses are flowing from my mind like an electrical current. I’m totally channeling Candy Stone energy right now. These are the exact things she would say.
Matteo
I have to get on the ice. I’ll be home late tonight. Send me your coffee order from Daily Drip and I’ll bring it over in the morning.
Jade
You don’t have to do that.
Matteo
I want to. Give me your order. That’s an order.
Jade
Bossy.
Matteo
You haven’t seen anything yet.
Stay out of trouble tonight, Sunny.
Jade
Always I’m a good girl.
Matteo
I bet you are…
