"Hey."
"Hi."
"Uh... How are you?"
"I'm good. How are you? You look a little nervous."
"I'm fine. I'm good."
"If you say so."

"Len, I-"
"Eric-"
"I'm sorry, you go first."
"No, you."
"Really, my thing can wait.
"I really don't want to go first."
"Fine, I'll go."
"Okay."
"Len, I've really enjoyed spending time with you these past few weeks."
"Thank you."
"And I know we have a while until the show ends, but I don't want to risk not taking my chance when I have it."
"Okay..."
"So I might as well just get it out."
"That's usually a good idea."
"Len, I like you. As in I like you. A lot. You're really funny and nice and cute and I just think you're amazing."
"..."
"Are you okay?"
"Uh huh."
"Len? Please say something."
"Sorry. Um, uh. I just can't stop smiling. Give me a second. I can't look at you and calm down at the same time."
"Uh, okay?"
"Okay, I'm good."
"Any kind of response to what-"
"I like you too."
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Awesome."
"Uh huh."
"Len?"
"Yeah?"
"What do we do now?"
"I have absolutely no clue."
