Sebastian:A puzzle

Cassie:I’m serious

Sebastian:So am I (inserts picture of puzzle)

Cassie:You’re an enigma

Sebastian:So I’ve been told. What else would I be doing?

Cassie:I don’t know, rock star stuff.

Sebastian:Which is what exactly?

Cassie:Drinking something, smoking something, breaking something, screwing someone(s) in the back of the tour bus.

Sebastian:That was yesterday, now I’ve moved on to the puzzle

Cassie::|

Sebastian:Kidding

Cassie:I’m sure you are

Cassie:Doesn’t matter anyway. “Friends,” remember?

Sebastian:“Of course”

Cassie:Friends talk about this stuff, totally normal.

Sebastian:Totally

Cassie:Enjoy the puzzle

Sebastian:Will do, “friend”

Sebastian:What are you doing?

Cassie:Why?

Sebastian:Bored. Curious. Whatever. Would you rather I ask you what you’re wearing?

Cassie:As your FRIEND? No.

Sebastian:Ditching quotes for caps. Wow, moving up in the world.

Cassie:So is this a thing now? You’re secretly a serial texter and this is how you fill your time?

Sebastian:Maybe, is that a problem?

Cassie:No, just interesting

Sebastian:How so?

Cassie:You’re not much of a talker face to face

Sebastian:Guess it’s the writer in me, better on paper

Sebastian:So what are you doing?
