Rachel: I’m on my way! Walking and texting.

Carter: I could have picked you up, Sunshine.

Rachel: A girl needs to get her steps in. Did you get ten million in already today?

Carter: Twelve million.

Rachel: Show-off.

Carter: Well, you asked.

Rachel: Do you want me to get food?

Carter: We’ll order something when you get here. I have the puzzle, but Date Night just reached out and wants us to answer comments from the video if that’s cool with you. Guess you were a hit.

Rachel: Um, you were.

Carter: Yeah, pretty sure there are Date Night fans of you. I read some of them already and there were comments about your hair thingy.

Rachel: My hair thingy?

Carter: When you did that hair-flip thing, then it was all up and clipped and kind of sexy.

Rachel: The French twist?

Carter: That. Yes. It got a lot of comments.

Rachel: They were commenting on my hair?

Carter: You have nice hair, Rachel.

Carter: You just do.

Carter: Someone said she wanted to braid your hair.

Rachel: Really? Really???

Carter: Does this surprise you?

Rachel: Do the triple question marks not make it clear how surprised I am? No one has ever said they wanted to braid my hair before.

Carter: You have very braid-able hair.

Carter: It looks nice right now too. Down, just like that, all swishing around your shoulders.

Rachel: I see you in the window next to Jane. Looking at me :)

Carter: Busted.

If you think about it, couches are the most dangerous pieces of furniture.

Take the bed, by contrast. You know what you’re getting into with that one—sleeping or fucking.
