Guess who just called me with good news.

Dominant James

Probably Dante.

Sugar Bear

No fair! How did you know?

Dominant James

Wild guess. So you got the job?

Sugar Bear

I did.

Dominant James

That’s great. Congratulations. When do you start?

Sugar Bear

Next week. I asked for some extra time before I start to let my toes heal.

Dominant James

Good idea.

Sugar Bear

So now that I accepted the job offer, does that mean we can’t hang out anymore?

Dominant James

We can still hang out if you want.

Sugar Bear

I do want. Movie tonight?

Dominant James

Would you be opposed to watching one at my place for a change? I have an actual couch.

Sugar Bear

A real couch? With cushions on it? James, stop. That can’t possibly be true. Don’t tell tall tales and play with my emotions this way.

Dominant James

I also have a table where we can put plates, silverware, and have a meal. Like civilized people.

Sugar Bear

Someone pinch me. It’s like being invited to Buckingham Palace.

Dominant James
