Page 19 of More than Friends

Declan: Made friends with a bunch of sheep.

Maggie: Do you like them better than me?

Declan: You smell better.

Maggie: Met any women?

Declan: Mags, I don’t think you want to know that.

Maggie: Maybe I’m into that.

Declan: You’re not.

Maggie: (eye roll emoji)

Declan: I think we need to add another rule.

Maggie: Oh, really? What?

Declan: Can’t ask about each other’s love life.

Maggie: Oh you’re no fun. Thought you liked to live life without rules.

Declan: (smirking emoji)

Maggie: (eye roll emoji)

Declan: Come on, Mags. Nothing good will come of it.

Maggie: Fine. It’s rule four. I’d like to add another one.

Declan: okay. What’s rule five?

Maggie: No ghosting. If you meet someone, we tell each other instead of ghosting each other or if we just want to stop, say so. No games.

Declan: No games - I’m down for that but I’m not looking for “the one” for a long time. If ever.

Maggie: Me neither but I’d rather we be honest with each other.

Declan: Speaking of honesty. Why did Elizabeth come to your place the other night?

Maggie: So you heard about that? Wasn’t sure how long it would take the news to travel all the way around the world.

Declan: Of course, I heard about it. She skipped out on her security detail and ran away to your house. James nearly shit a brick.

Maggie: (shrugging emoji)

Declan: Really, that’s all I’m going to get.

Maggie: (shrugging emoji)

Declan: I thought we were better friends than that.

Maggie: She needed to get away.

Declan: Hmm. That doesn’t sound like the full story.

Maggie: So tell me more about these sheep.
