ME:

Never thought about it. Is that your question?

WILLOW:

Favorite guilty pleasure show?

ME:

Don’t make fun of me.

WILLOW:

I would never.

ME:

I’m obsessed with Love Island.

WILLOW:

No way!!

ME:

You said you wouldn’t make fun of me!

WILLOW:

I’m not…

Love Island? Really?

ME:

Trin got me hooked.

Favorite song?

WILLOW:

Make You Feel My Love by BD.

ME:

Why do you like Bob Dylan so much?

WILLOW:

He’s my mom’s favorite artist, and when my dad left, we didn’t have a lot of money. But she had all his records, and we spent hours listening to them.

His music feels like home, you know?

That was heavier than I meant for it to be. Let’s make it lighter. What’s your fave book?

ME:

I like learning about your past. It tells me more about you. Anytime you want to talk, I’m here to listen.
