CHASE [8:26AM]

Ouch. Can’t a guy be friendly?

ELENA [8:30AM]

There’s friendly and there’s... whatever this is.

CHASE [8:31AM]

Just making conversation. Did anything interesting happen today?

ELENA [8:32AM]

Had a patient confuse his hemorrhoid cream with his toothpaste this morning.

CHASE [8:33AM]

Please tell me you’re joking

ELENA [8:34AM]

Doctors don’t joke about hemorrhoid cream.

CHASE [8:34AM]

I can’t tell if you’re messing with me or not

ELENA [8:35AM]

Good.

CHASE [8:36AM]

So you do have a sense of humor

ELENA [8:36AM]

I have to go.

CHASE [8:37AM]

Talk to ya later friend!

Then, Tuesday, December 17, 2023

CHASE [5:50PM]

You’ll never guess what happened to me today

ELENA [5:54PM]

Correct. I hardly know you.

CHASE [5:55PM]

Well, let’s rectify that, shall we?

My name is Chase Matthew Everton. My favorite color is purple. I like pineapple on my pizza.
