Page 36 of The Right Wrong Number

Bentley:That’s my fear, I think. My world is spinning again and that feels selfish.

Killian:Living isn’t selfish. Cap and Jilly’s world is spinning again too, it’s just slower rotations than what you’ve got going on right now.

Bentley:Maybe we’ll all fall in love this year, huh?

Killian:Maybe.

Bentley:Are you? Falling in love with Jilly?

Killian:I’m falling into something.

Bentley:Lust? Cap will kick your ass.

Killian:Reverence.

Bentley:Nice.

Killian:Go to dinner. Have fun. Live.

Bentley:I’ll do my best.

Jilly + Killian

Jilly:I met Bent’s new girl.

Killer:And?

Jilly:She is wicked smart. Like, way smarter than anyone I assumed Bent would end up with. And she’s really funny too. I like her a lot.

Killer:Good. How was the rest of your day?

Jilly:It was fine. I think I might get a job now that the semester is over. I should do something more valuable with my time than wallow in a blanket fort and text you.

Killer:Well, soon, I’ll be back home and maybe you can do more than text me?

Jilly:I definitely want to do more than text you.

Killer:Now I’m horny.

Jilly:Same.

Killer:I promised Bent I wasn’t falling into lust with you, so the next time he gets you wasted, don’t tell him your texts make my dick hard.

Jilly:There’s a lot to unpack there.

Killer:Caroline is thinking of moving back to be close to you guys for the baby.

Jilly:I want her to so bad, but I don’t want to make things harder for her. I know she has her parents’ help right now, and she lives rent free.

Killer:Maybe instead of a job, you can help her with the baby when the time comes?

Jilly:Yeah, maybe. I should talk to my dad. Caroline shouldn’t just have her parents help. Dicer isn’t here, but we are.

Killer:I think knowing all her options would help her decide.

Jilly:I think you’re a very kind and patient man who has taken on more than most people would.

Killer:Nah. Just a guy with the right wrong number.
