Caleb: Fine. How about you?

Keith: Good. What are you going to have for breakfast since your fridge is empty?

Caleb: No worries, I’ll stop at Connections and get a muffin and some coffee.

Wednesday Afternoon

Keith: How was your day?

Caleb: It was a good one. How was yours?

Keith: Not bad. I cleared out a new spot in my backyard for an herb garden.

Caleb: I didn’t know you gardened.

Keith: I’m guessing there’s a lot you don’t know about me. But we have plenty of time to learn.

Thursday Morning

Keith: Good morning, baby boy.

Caleb: Morning.

Keith: Did you get a good night’s sleep?

Caleb: So, so, I stayed up too late reading.

Keith: Is that something you do often?

Caleb: Have you ever seen that meme that says I say I have insomnia, but what I really have is a good book and lack of respect for tomorrow?

Keith: LOL yes I have.

Caleb: Well, that’s what I have.

Keith: We’ll talk about that another time because that isn’t a good choice.

Thursday Afternoon

Keith: I know you’re at work, but I wanted you to know I wasted my whole day reading. I’ll be needing book two soon.

Caleb: It’s good, isn’t it?

Keith: So good.

Caleb: I can bring book two with me on Saturday night.

Keith: Thanks, baby boy.

Thursday Night

Caleb: Do you watch much television?

Keith: Not really. Why?

Caleb: Cause I’ve been watching this show called Black Sails, and for some reason, it made me think of you. I thought you might like it.

Keith: I’ll have to check it out.
