Evan

So what?

Me

I thought you might need a little extra incentive to actually unpack it and use it for the first time. Take your blood pressure; get a treat.

Evan

A treat in the form of a cherry slushie?

Me

Your stomach likes cold things and cherry flavored things. Figured a cherry slushiemight work.

Evan

How do you know I won’t just drink the slushie and keep the blood pressure cuff in the box?

Me

Because you’re going to take a picture of the readout and send it to me, so I’ll know. If you don’t send a picture, I’m never making you bagels again, and I’m dumping all the phone logs in the discovery boxes on you for the next month.

And if you don’t do the blood pressure thing fast enough, the slushie will melt. No one likes a melted slushie.

Evan

I hate you.

Me

Time’s ticking, Rhodes.

Evan

I can’t breathe.

Me

Call me on video. We can do it together.

Evan

I just got out of the shower.

Me

Love that for me.

Evan

No.

Me

Take your blood pressure, Rhodes, or I’ll come over and do it for you. I knowwhere you live.

Evan
