Were we in my bed again?

Me

I’m not sure why the environment in my dream matters to you, Macklin.

Macklin

Just curious. What were you wearing?

Me

Did you really just ask me that?

Macklin

Maybe. Is it an inappropriate question?

Me

Maybe.

Without waiting for his response, I text him again.

Me

Ya know, if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re trying to sext me.

Macklin

Or maybe I’m trying to get you out of your head again.

Me

Who says I’m in my head again?

Macklin

You were awfully quiet when I dropped you off last night.

Me

I was tired, so sue me.

Macklin

All right. As long as you weren’t stressing about the E word, we’re good.

Me

Why would I be stressing about the E word? Oh. Right. Because it ruined your beauty sleep. How could I forget?

Macklin

Are you saying I’m beautiful, Kate?

Me

I’m saying I’m sorry my “baggage” ruined your night.
