Page 84 of Crazy for this Girl

But not in front of the puppy because that's just cruel.

UNKNOWN: Sending this message and praying to God it gets to a girl named Laynee Reese.

Why do you show up at the worst possible times Cal?

Or the best?

What the hell?

LAYNEE: What makes you think it won't get to me?

CAL: Because I've tried over a million times over the course of two days.

I hate you so much.

I demand my fingers type out the words that come to the forefront of my brain, but they refuse to comply.

Traitors, the lot of you.

CAL: I’m so glad you answered.

LAYNEE: Bad signal?

CAL: The worst.

LAYNEE: Are you in Antarctica or something?

CAL: Kinda wishing I was. Did you stay and move to Switzerland?

LAYNEE: Unfortunately, no. Still in the States.

CAL: Can't say I’m upset about that, Tone Deaf. Was it everything you wished it would be?

LAYNEE: Definitely not.

CAL: Then you'll need to plan to go somewhere else. There're a million other places to go. Don’t all girls wanna go to Paris?

LAYNEE: I’m not all girls, Cal Harper. And not really. It’s too crowded.

CAL: Then maybe you should head to Antarctica. You’ll only see polar bears and penguins.

LAYNEE: Polar bears don’t live in Antarctica, but penguins and seals do.

CAL: Alright, smart ass, go hang out with them. And give me the latest.

LAYNEE: Why don’t you come over and find out for yourself?

CAL: I want to. I’m just tied up right now.

LAYNEE: You have a secret baby, don’t you?

CAL: LOL.

CAL: I’d never cheat on you, Laynee. I’m still waiting on my ring, though.

LAYNEE: You can continue to wait. I don’t think you warrant it now.

CAL: Are we gonna fight?
