????

Maren

What if Noah starts crushing on you too?

Me

He won’t.

Maren

Why?

Me

Reality.

Maren

So overrated. But didn’t you tell me you weren’t interested in a relationship anyway?

Me

Yes. But I keep forgetting.

Maren

If Noah’s truly too busy to date, then your self-control is irrelevant. He’s not an option.

Me

Thank you. This was the exact reminder I needed.

Maren

I got you, friend. Virtual slap upside the head achieved. Now go have fun in that fort.

Me

Just me and my little space ranger.

Maren

Umm … I genuinely have no idea what that means.

Me

Not as strange as it sounds. Promise.

Maren

Nope. Gonna need a full debrief tonight.

Me

Deal.
