What are you up to?

Nothing.

Stressing.

Jude

Over what? Sebastian? Because it’s fine. It’ll be fine.

No. I know that. I’m stressed over my appointment tomorrow.

Jude

What appointment?

My oncology check-in.

Jude

You didn’t tell me you had an appointment.

Well, between all the BIG FEELINGS this weekend…

Jude

Don’t forget the BIG SEX.

Yes. Of course. So between all of that, when was I going to tell you?

But it’s not a big deal. Only my annual appointment to make sure everything looks good. No reoccurrences. I’ll probably get a blood test.

Jude

I love you.

I know.

Jude

Make me the brussels sprouts. I’ll eat them.

Ok.

I love you.

Jude

I know.

An hour later…

Jude

Are you asleep yet?

Nope. Can’t sleep.

Jude
