A WEEK LATER

Parker: I’m shooketh

Zee: About?

Parker: Tee told me Colt carried you over the threshold, Zee

Tee: Why are you shooketh? He gives off that vibe

Zee: Have you visited Parker yet, Tee?

Parker: She hasn’t

Parker: She’s trying out agoraphobia too. It’s all the rage in the city. Liam Donnghal’s made it trendy.

Tee: Yeah, yeah

Zee: You haven’t left the apartment?!

Parker: No. She hasn’t

Zee: What about work?

Tee: I decided to call in sick. Jackass Jacobie can’t say no to that.

Parker: He can eventually lol. Doctor’s note, anyone?

Tee: Like you can tattle on me, Miss ‘I haven’t entered a public space since Labor Day three years ago.’

Parker: I’ve been out

Tee: When?

Zee: Where?

Zee: And riding from Ohio to Jersey doesn’t count…

Parker: Two months ago

Zee: *groans*

Zee: How am I the one in an arranged marriage I didn’t ask for and I’m coping the best?

Parker: It’s because you’re our sun

Zee: I am?

Parker: Yup. The center of our universe, Zee.

Tee: I know you’re joking, but I think she was and I didn’t realize it.

Zee: Fuck a duck, Tee, you need to chill out! I got on your nerves a lot

Tee: I miss that *sobs*

Parker: Wow, our girl’s having some kind of episode, huh? You’re awesome, Zee, but the center of my universe? Sheesh.

Parker: Do you want me to send one of the girls over, Tee?
