Nat Soulmate Sister:
Touche.
Nat Soulmate Sister:
Bitchy, jealous joking aside… I am happy for him. He’s worked really hard to get to where he is. I’m sure he deserves it all. I just don’t understand why he’d move to the sticks - no offense - instead of the city. He’s 23, doesn’t he want to be in NYC where it’s all happening?
I resent that comment! We have an amazing coffee shop here.
Nat Soulmate Sister:
Yeah, one. One coffee shop. That closes at 7 p.m.
Hey now! It’s open until 9 on select Fridays and Saturdays in the summer when they do slam-poetry nights.
Nat Soulmate Sister:
Ooooo!! Watch out!
Whatever.
Nat Soulmate Sister:
As fun as this has been, I’m glad to find you’re not dead in a ditch, but I gotta boogie to work. Next time answer my goddamn text messages! But let’s talk soon and make plans for when I come up. You know Nick and I can’t spend 48 hours straight together. I’ll probably end up throttling him, then he won’t be able to play and then there go his pro football dreams. So make plans with me, you’d really be doing the pros and the whole pro football community a favor, not just me.
Anyone ever tell you that you have a weird and deranged sense of humor?
Nat Soulmate Sister:
You told me every day for four years until you decided NOT to follow me and moved to shitty NY.
Hey, hey now. Don’t hate on it!
Nat Soulmate Sister:
I just hate NY because you’re there and not here
Well let me see how this school year goes, maybe I’ll consider relocating after the year is over
Nat Soulmate Sister:
ARE YOU FOR SERIOUS RIGHT NOW??? Don’t even joke with me about that!
Idk… I mean, why not? There are opportunities in Philly and it’s not like I’ve got anything here besides the job and some friends. You’re my person, Nat, and I miss you. It sucks not having your person.
Nat Soulmate Sister:
I fucking hate not having MY person close. It’s sucked for the past however-many-years. I miss you so much. And btw, Earl can go suck a dick.
Thanks for that reminder.
Nat Soulmate Sister:
What? He was a DICK!!! You’re way too good for him and he was a waste of time and space.
No, no, please don’t hold back…
Nat Soulmate Sister:
