Lincoln: How are you? How is Poe?

Nova: We’re both good, just staying busy. It’s been pretty quiet here in the house. I think she misses you and Nash.

Lincoln: Is she the only one who misses us?

Nova: Maybe not.

Lincoln: Who else would there be?

Nova: Why don’t you go ahead and guess?

Lincoln: Riley?

Nova: Definitely not.

Lincoln: Hmmm… I don’t know. Maybe you can help me out here.

Nova: Do you want some hints?

Lincoln: That would be very helpful.

Nova: Well, she’s your roommate. She makes a mean chicken piccata. She loves astronomy.

Lincoln: She smells like flowers and has the softest lips.

Nova: She can’t stop thinking about you.

Lincoln: She sounds pretty fucking amazing.

Lincoln: Correction: she is fucking amazing.

Nova: Okay, you must be drunk or something.

Lincoln: Nope. Not at all, actually.

Nova: When will you be back?

Lincoln: Four days.

Nova: That feels so long. How have things been going?

Lincoln: Good. We only lost one game.

Lincoln: I’m ready to come home, though.

Nova: We’re ready for you to come back.

Nova: I know Poe is getting tired of only having me for her tea parties.

Lincoln: Tell her that when I get home we have a date.

Nova: She’ll be so excited.

Lincoln: What about you?

Nova: What about me?

Lincoln: Do I get to take you on a date too?
