Me: Well, yeah. But whatcha doing?
 
 Chris: Worried I have a date?
 
 Chris: I don’t have a date, Avery. You don’t have to be afraid
 
 Me: I wasn’t afraid. Lol
 
 Chris: So the hour-long silence was…?
 
 Me: Work. I do that even if you havethe day off.
 
 Chris: Sure. You going out with the girls?
 
 Me: No. Wren’s out of town and Jana has an actual date. So I’m doing a rom-com marathon. Too bad Emerson isn’t here. He’d love it.
 
 Chris: What about me?
 
 Me: Are you saying you’re sad that you’re missing the movie marathon?
 
 Chris: That’s exactly what I’m saying
 
 Me: You could watch them too.
 
 Chris: Like together on FaceTime?
 
 Me: Sure. We can do that.
 
 Chris: How bout I call you at 7?
 
 Me: okay
 
 Me: I just walked in from work. Why were there three DoorDash delivery people waiting on me when I stepped off the elevator?
 
 Chris: Hmm. I couldn’t say. Did they bring you anything good?
 
 Me: Sushi, popcorn, an Oreo milkshake, and runts.
 
 Chris: Wow lucky girl. All your movie favorites
 
 Me: You never stop surprising me.
 
 Chris: I just want you to have a good night, Blondie
 
 Blondie: Picture of banana pancakes
 
 Me: Are you bragging that you’re at our favorite place without me?
 
 Blondie: No, I’m showing you how sad the pancakes are. I think I saw a tear of batter drip down one because they’re being ignored.
 
 Me: You could eat them…
 
 Blondie: They like you better than me. They just push my fork away and refuse to jump on.
 
 Me: You are ridiculous, but I miss your face
 
 Blondie: Pic of her face.
 
 “Yo, your dad being funny today?”Mason snapped a towel at my shoulder.
