PAIGE: And both times were without any major issues.

JULES: Both times? You had sex twice?

PAIGE: Yes.

JULES: How was it? I’m not being nosy—it’s something any good friend would ask.

JULES: Start with the maiden voyage.

PAIGE: The first time was a little quick, but really nice.

JULES: How quick? Because condoms usually help with stamina.

JULES: He is using condoms, right?

JULES: Right? Hello?

PAIGE: Sorry. I was putting on mascara. It takes precision.

JULES: He isn’t using them, is he?

PAIGE: No. And before you lose your shit, it was my decision.

JULES: Please tell me he’s been tested …

JULES: Hello? Hello?

PAIGE: Sorry. That time it was me deliberately not responding to you.

JULES: I’m just making sure you’re being protected.

PAIGE: I appreciate that, but I’ve got it covered.

PAIGE: So, let’s move on.

JULES: Fine.

JULES: So, how was the second time?

PAIGE: It was the best sex I’ve ever had.

JULES: Congratulations! I feel like you’re my baby, taking her first steps.

PAIGE: I hope we can do it a lot. Like, so much that his balls want to go on strike and demand a day off.

JULES: I don’t think you need to worry. I’m pretty sure that has never once happened in the history of men’s balls.

PAIGE: Good. Because I have a lot of catching up to do.

PAIGE: And I have a ton of work to do now, so I have to go. Talk to you later.

Paige started to put her phone on her desk, only to be alerted to another text. Thinking it was Jules saying goodbye, she was surprised to see it was from David, instead.

DAVID: Can you let me in?

PAIGE: Let you in?

A picture popped up. It was a selfie of him in front of The Main Event’s front doors, looking freshly showered and wearing jeans and a navy T-shirt, with his hair pulled back.
