Liam: What?

Cole: I know you’re not mad at me still.

Liam: Says who?

Cole: Me

Liam: What do you want?

Cole: …you’re making me feel bad.

Liam: GOOD

Cole: You have to be nice to me now that Gracie’s punishing me

Liam: We do function as individuals, Cole.

Liam: Meaning she can be fine with you dating Mia and I can be pissed.

Cole: Dude, you’re not still mad at me.

Liam: Sure I am.

Cole: Lies

Cole: What’s got your boxer briefs in a bunch?

Liam: Nothing. It doesn’t matter

Liam: You’re right though. I’m over you dating Mia.

Cole: You are?!

Liam: Yeah. Seeing you together at the Bukowskis made me realize this was serious. There’s nothing I wouldn’t have done to be with Gracie, so I get it.

Liam: I’m just giving you shit.

Cole: Ah, that’s all right then.

Cole: Seriously, though, you okay?

Liam: Yeah. I just got selected for the All-Star game.

Cole: Like that’s come as a surprise lol. (Go you, bro.)

Cole: I’m going to propose

Liam: Wow! Already?

Cole: When you know, you know…

Liam: Ain’t that the truth

Cole: I’m gonna take her to meet the fam in Pigeon Creek

Liam: Lemme guess. You want me to catsit?

Cole: :/ Would you mind? I’d really appreciate it. It’ll be Betsy’s first time without us.
