Page 36 of His Juliet

Romeo

Tell me something good

Juliet

I’m about to do laundry so it’s full on despair over here

Romeo

Didn’t you just do laundry?

Juliet

Oh right, I forgot you don’t know about laundry. You have to do it more than once a year.

I staredat Romeo’s responding dots, chewing my lip as I waited for his text to come through. Had my message been too rude?

Romeo

Brat. Just buy more clothes instead of doing laundry. Perfect solution

I grinned. No one had ever called me a brat, and maybe I liked it when Romeo said it.

Juliet

Wow, what brilliance

Romeo

I know

Juliet

Romeo.

Romeo

Juliet.

Juliet

You can’t do this

Romeo

Do what?

Juliet

Don’t even try to be coy. It’s not cute.

Romeo

I’m always cute

And so are you.
