LOGAN

How can I help?

OLIVIA

Give me a minute. I still want to see you. I’m just nervous.

LOGAN

How long is a minute in this scenario?

OLIVIA

Five? Ten? I don’t know. I just know I feel like moving to another country, but I also feel like running across the hall and banging on your door until you open it and kiss me again.

OLIVIA

And I can’t believe I just typed that to you. Are you smiling a smug smile right now?

LOGAN

I wouldn’t call it smug.

OLIVIA

I bet I would.

LOGAN

I bet you would too. And for the record, you wouldn’t have to bang more than once. I’d open it and kiss you again after one knock. Or not kiss you. If that’s what you want.

OLIVIA

I need to let my brain catch up.

LOGAN

And that will happen in five or ten minutes? I’m impressed.

OLIVIA

A little time over here alone will give me a chance to start adjusting to …

I delete that message before I hit send. I don’t even know what I’m trying to adjust to yet. Him? Us?

Us.There’s an us. We are now an us. Or are we?Gah!

OLIVIA

I’m going to call Megan.

LOGAN

Good call. Best friends help.

OLIVIA

She’s going to freak out.
