Page 44 of When Alec Met Evie

---

I have a life to live, Alec. A baby to care for.

Alec

What if I say please? The twins are singing through George Strait’s entire catalog, Evie. I’m desperate here.

Evie

Really? Are they any good?

Alec

They are…very dedicated to the cause.

Evie

Do you have headphones? And Spotify?

Alec

Yes to both.

Evie

K. Let’s swap playlists. Then you’ll have something to listen to and something to text me about.

Alec

You want my playlist? Are you sure our friendship is ready for this?

Evie

COME ON. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

Alec

Fine. Sent. But no judging.

Evie

Guess who I just met?

Alec

Flint Hawthorne.

Barack Obama.

Santa Claus.

Freddie Ridgefield.

This is a fun game. Should I keep going?

Evie

I’m just sitting here trying to dissect your celebrity choices.

Alec
