How’s your week going?
Jeremiah

Jeremiah
Everything okay? This is your number, right, Noah? Or did you message me off one of the others’ phones?
Jeremiah
Are we still meeting up this week? I hope so.
Noah
Sorry, yes this is my number. Let’s do tomorrow at Osteria Romana. Istwo p.m. okay?
Jeremiah
It’s a date!
