RACHEL (11:18 AM)

So when does *kissy-face emoji* become *eggplant emoji* *fireworks emoji*

ME (11:18 AM)

That’s terrifying.

RACHEL (11:19 AM)

No it isn’t. It’ll be even more amazing, spectacular, knee-trembling.

ME (11:19 AM)

Well, if the mouth action and the ass-grabbing were anything to go by…

RACHEL (11:20 AM)

See, Bridge Man. He’s perfect. *grinning emoji*

ME (11:20AM)

He’s certainly perfect.

Those words just fell from my fingers without me thinking. But they’re the truth. He might actually be perfect. Unless he’s developed some weird, unpleasant traits in the last decade and a half. But in the absence of an as-yet-undiscovered toenail-chewing habit, he does have all the outward appearances of perfection.

Apart from the whole living-in-London thing.

But that makes him the perfect Bridge Man.

And that’s perfect.

RACHEL (11:20 AM)

Wow. You got it bad.

ME (11:21 AM)

Stop it.

RACHEL (11:21 AM)

Maybe he’s more than Bridge Man. Maybe he has Forever Man potential…

Ridiculous.

ME (11:22 AM)

He lives in London.

RACHEL (11:23 AM)

And if that’s the only downside you can think of, then he has Forever Man potential.

ME (11:23 AM)

I’m not moving to London.

And I am not. Dylan has had enough turmoil in his life. The move to California will be big enough, and that’s worth it because it might prevent him from losing his hearing whenhe’s older. But I’m not putting him through moving to another country.
