Kow: No one’s getting hurt and Callan’s learning how pussies work.

Cole: I don’t want to have this conversation with you lol.

Kow: Because you know I'm right.

Kow: Here if you need me, man. Can be there if the worst happens.

Cole: Yeah, I know. Thanks for that.

Cole: Since Liam pulled your head out of your ass, you’ve been better.

Kow: It’s called personal growth.

Cole: That what it is? Figured you’d been taking more laxatives than usual.

Kow: HA HA HA

Kow: That news article… Gracie is doing us proud.

Cole: Yeah. I’m glad for her.

Kow: Me too. At least she’ll be with Liam.

Cole: More like he’ll be with her.

Kow: He needs her more than she needs him.

Cole: There’s probably a lot of truth to that.

Kow: I’m capable of speaking the truth lol.

Cole: You congratulated her privately? I couldn’t help but notice you were radio silent in the chat.

Kow: Nah. She doesn’t need me ruining this moment.

Cole: Kow, listen to me, would you?

Cole: Congratulate.

Cole: Her.

Cole: NOW.

Kow: Why did you never tell me your agent was hot?
