Dane

Dane,

It’s just what we do.

Also, you won’t answer your phone.

Devi

Devi,

And while I love fighting with you, I wonder what it would be like to get along with you.

Dane

Dane,

We do get along.

What are we even fighting about?

There’s no need to freak out over anything that’s gone down.

You’re still you.

Devi

Devi,

You’re an exceptional woman.

I like the way you listen to Tina Turner and dance around the kitchen when you make coffee in the morning. And look people in the eye, no matter who they are.

You look strangers on the street in the eye when they ask you for change. I’ve never really seen anyone do that before.

You made me nervous in high school. I don’t think I ever told you that.

Dane

Dane,

How much have you had to drink tonight?

Devi

Devi,

I’m totally sober.

Dane

Dane,

It’s almost midnight where you are. Have you decided where you’re going yet?

If not, maybe you can take some time to plan this trip a little more carefully?

Is your concierge helping you with this?
