Jolene:
Is that your diplomatic way of asking if my team lost?
Adam:
Yeah.
Jolene:
We lost.
Adam:
That sucks. Sorry I couldn’t be there.
Jolene:
My own parents weren’t there. Trust me, you’re off the hook.
Adam:
Was it close?
Jolene:
I’d like to be able to say yes, but lies are unbecoming, aren’t they?
Adam:
Must have been up against a good team.
Jolene:
Nope. We beat them early in the season and by all accounts we should have won today.
Adam:
What happened?
Jolene:
No one played great, least of all me, which means if you keep texting me I’m gonna slip and say something mean.
Adam:
It’s okay. Lay it on me.
Jolene:
No, it’s no fun when you’re nice about it.
Adam:
I can be mean. I’ll just imagine what you’d say.
Jolene:
This ought to be good.
