KING: Coming in tonight to eat. Maybe I can have you for dessert later?

LILA: *thumbs up* Sleepover?

KING: Can’t. Got an early morning practice. But we could still have fun for a minute.

LILA: Hopefully longer than a minute. *smirk*

KING: We were in a hurry.

April 1

KING: Hi.

LILA: …

KING: I’m outside your place. Drive? Ice cream?

LILA: Only if brownies and caramel are involved.

KING: And sex.

KING: I’m outside your door. Open for me?
