"MILA, ARE YOU PUNCHING that tree?"
"Because, Laurent, I just had a thought a moment ago and I didn't want to jinx it so—"
"Knock on wood?"
"Yes."
"Jesus."
"What?"
"Does it work?"
"I like to think that it does."
"Just like how you'd like to think that theres love at first sight, I assume?"
"Why are you here anyways?"
"Because we walk the same way home, dumbass."
"Oh."
"..."
"I have a recital thing coming up. For spring bonanza or something. You wanna come?"
"Depends. What's the dress code?"
"Black tie."
"No thanks."
"Please, Laurent."
"I don't own anything black tie and I'd die before that happens."
"I'll get you one. Jeremy has some I think. Please."
"How long is it?"
"A few hours. I'm opening and my parents can't get a babysitter so I'll be alone."
"I'll babysit Cameron and they can go see you."
"Okay, that was a lie but I want you to come. Elle and Roma are."
"Oh great, so you have friends there! I don't need to be."
"Not need, want."
"What'll you give me in return, huh? Not your love, I don't want that—"
"Ouch. I'll give you some brownies? And an invitation to hang out with baby Cameron again."
"How about massages?"
"What?"
"You know. A rub around the shoulders."
"Out of all the things—"
"Your boy gets tired from all the running and kicking he does okay."
"Speaking of soccer, when's your next match?"
"Tomorrow."
"Can I come?"
"Sure?"
"Nice. It's a date."
"Um."
