It’s three in the morning and that’s what you’re asking me?

eastcoleman:

Three in the morning for you, six for me. Why are you awake already? Or still?

mockingbird:

I got a message, and I forgot to turn off the sound, so...

eastcoleman:

I’d say I was sorry for waking you up, but I’d be lying.

mockingbird:

Are you drunk, Easton?

eastcoleman:

Maybe a little. But answer the question. Where would you want to live?

mockingbird:

In a little house on the ocean. I don’t care where. But it’s got to be right on the beach. Maybe LA would be nice, at least it’s always warm here. I want huge windows and lots of empty walls I can write all over. And a balcony off the bedroom, so I can always watch the sunsets.

eastcoleman:

What is it with you and the ocean?

mockingbird:

I grew up by the ocean.

eastcoleman:

mockingbird:

eastcoleman:

Was that a test?

mockingbird:

Just a little one.

eastcoleman:

You’re avoiding my question again, right?

mockingbird:

Maybe.
