Me: She probably only says she loves your hair.

Me: She probably feels obligated to say that since you pierced your dick for her.

Penn: Haha, hey I was going to say that!

* * *

Me: Of course you were. You can’t make it through a conversation without announcing to the room that you’re pierced.

Me: What’s that about anyway? When did your Johnson become a community conversation.

Penn: Big brother name the place and time and I will come and hold your hand while you face the most extreme pain of your life which will lead you to a level of bliss you won’t even be able to describe.

* * *

Me: Enough dick talk. What’s your issue.

* * *

Penn: Someone needs to be the voice of reason and caution you against moving too quickly with Sera.

Penn: You don’t exist in actual reality right now

Penn: Your feelings are super amplified because literally no one is around you.

* * *

Me: Some might say that’s the perfect opportunity to find out if someone is compatible. Don’t they say you don’t truly know how well you’ll work with someone until you vacation with them?

Penn: Bryce I’m serious, man. You broke up with Sarah and stormed straight into a relationship with a total stranger.

Penn: What happens when you go back to Boston? Where is your priority?

Penn: Because from the dogged way you’re pursuing this funding for the expansion—seems to me like you’ve got a pretty thick set of blinders on.

* * *

Me: Things change Penn. Priorities shift. Sometimes you find love in completely unexpected places.

* * *

Penn: Oh shit Rye. You’ve upgraded to love? ??????

Penn: I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but there’s a big pedal to the left of the one that makes you go fast. It’s called a brake. You might want to consider pumping that one for a spell. At least until you are back on land and have an opportunity to go back to your normal routines.

Me: Sera and I have an appointment to attend to. Catch you later
