of light, which is our primary sense

Too convenient!

Nicholas

Flat earther

Hamilton

All electromagnetic radiation moves at C.

Sophie

Oh

Hamilton

Ocean

Well, I’m glad we answered my question

Nicholas

Two o’clock at Hamilton’s

We’ll be there

Hamilton

I have a new batch of kombucha.

Just started the second fermentation.

Lily-Ann

We will also attend the meeting.

Lily-Ann turned to tell Anthony to replace the furniture, but didn’t say anything because he was wrestling with his phone. She didn’t want to interrupt him. He stayed busy with his phone. In the end, she watched him tap his screen for two full minutes before he finished.

Anthony

See you there

“You’re adorable,” she said.

He clearly didn’t know what she was talking about, but he said, “You should see me in cashmere.”

“I should see you in cashmere.” She mentally added a charcoal sweater to her Christmas list. “Will you move the furniture back? Um, to the exact same—”

“I know, Lil,” he said.
