I see.
FIONA
None of this is fair to you. I’m sorry.
SATOSHI
You don’t need to apologise
I’m never going to push you to do something you’re not comfortable with x
FIONA
I will tell him eventually x
But we’re still so new, Satoshi
What if I told him tomorrow and then you got sick of me next week? Then Jonah would feel morally obliged to stop coming into Tsundoku, and I cannot in good conscience cost you business like that.
SATOSHI
Fiona.
FIONA
Plus, if I’m being *really* honest: I’m not sure how to say ‘Hey, I’m getting railed by the nice boy in the bar’ to my baby brother without the ground opening and swallowing me whole
SATOSHI
…

Speaking of you getting railed: see you Thursday?
I have to work, but I can promise you wine, orgasms and breakfast the next morning
FIONA
You’re on. I’ll come in as soon as I’ve dropped the kids off x
I’ll bring my laptop – I have some reading I want to do for my spider cellar piece
And then I’ll help you clean up after close (in order to get to the railing with the greatest possible efficiency)
SATOSHI
How can I refuse such an offer?
Feel free to pencil ‘reading and railing’ in your diary for every Thursday night for the foreseeable future
FIONA
Ah yes, the true meaning of R&R
SATOSHI
Just wondering – any further thoughts about being my date to the Aus Somm of the Year dinner? I know it’s complicated with childcare, but I would really love for us to be a couple somewhere that isn’t my bar or my bed.
