It’s important and you are very attention grabbing; one of the only reasons CNN is bearable sometimes tbh
– About Sutton’s work?—
Sutton—1:17 p.m.
I’m not positive, but I think one of my students wrote a paper using you as a queer role model, comparing you to Sappho

Charlotte—1:34 p.m.
What can I say? Sappho is likely my direct ancestor. You should tell this student of yours that you know me. Earn some true respect
Sutton—1:35 p.m.
Oh, so you think I have to name-drop you to earn respect from my students? Then again, if you came into my gender and sexuality in literature class, I’m sure you alone would leave a string of hearts behind
Charlotte—1:35 p.m.
Not at all, but I thought it might be more comfortable for you to have your students stargazing at me rather than at you. I’m sure you already have their little sapphic hearts laying at your door
Sutton—1:36 p.m.
Ha-ha
It has only happened one time.
Charlotte—1:37 p.m.
I am genuinely shocked by that
Please, do tell
They talked about Lucy… well, a lot about Lucy, and it wasn’t all that shocking. She was Sutton’s pride and joy, and Charlotte knew Sutton well enough to know that would be the case even before meeting Lucy over dinner.
Charlotte—4:41 p.m.
Got the edits in—I can send them over if you want to have a look whenever you’re not busy
Sutton—4:44 p.m.
I’m sitting in the parents’ section for karate class, watching a group of 5- to 8-year-olds try to break a board with their hands. Please send it to me now
Charlotte—4:45 p.m.
I’m very tempted to not send it to you now because I personally find the idea of watching children break wooden boards with their hands fascinating
Sutton—4:45 p.m.
With the giggling and screaming and fits of running around, you would need at least eight ibuprofen to make it through the hour, Charlotte Thompson
Charlotte—4:46 p.m.
I’m moderately insulted, yet still agreeable with your conclusion. However, please don’t pretend that you don’t love watching Lucy run around during these little classes
Sutton—4:47 p.m.
