Me: Don’t even tempt me.

Me: The girls and I are going to have a group meeting in a few minutes to decide what to do.

Vex: Oh?

Me: We usually do something wild the first night.

Vex: Wild?

Me: Dinner and a show are wild for us. Don’t get all twitchy over there.

Vex: I don’t get twitchy. I get trigger-happy.

EEEK! Though it says something about the change in our relationship that Vex can joke around with me about stuff like that.

Me: Haha. What are you going to do without me for a whole week?

Vex: Worry.

Me: ?

Vex: Are you going to do the same?

Maybe

Me: I’m going to lay in this big bed and wish your arms were around me.

I snap a picture of me on the bed and send it to him.

Vex: Dahl, you do know I don’t have that much willpower. Can I please come?

Me: Nope. I’m sharing a room with two other people. You’d scare them. And I won’t be in here much. We’ll probably do midnight sprint sessions.

And gossip. It’s impossible for us to get together and not chatter like a bunch of birds.

Vex: You’re going to the gym?

Now that’s funny.

Me: LOL. No. We sprint, or type as many words as we can in a set time, to get in all the words we’ll miss out on through the week.

Vex: That sounds like work.

Kinda is.

Me: But it doesn’t feel like work.

Vex: Are you going to eat any vegetables this week?

Me: Probably not

Vex: Dahl

Me: Have I told you how cute you are?

Vex: We’ll have brussel sprouts when you get back.

Me: I’m shaking in my boots.
