"Hey."

"Hi."

"Did you just get back home?"

"Yeah, traffic was crazy today."

"How was work?"

"Same as usual. Though today, Jeremy seemed off."

"Yeah? What happened?"

"Don't know. Must be his girlfriend again. You know she's a total bitch."

"Poor Jer."

"I know. I keep telling him to dump her, I don't know why he doesn't."

"Maybe Nessa should talk to him. She can convince anyone to do anything."

" *laughs* God knows she can. But seriously, do you think I should ask her?"

"I'll talk to her about it tomorrow."

"Have I told you you're great?"

"Yes, but I'd like to hear it again."

"You're amazing babe."

"I know."

"You know, everyone in the office loves you."

"Really? But I've only met them twice."

"It must be because of how much I talk about you."

"Which I'm guessing is a lot."

"Hell yeah."

"That's really embarrassing though. For me."

"Hey, I have a great girlfriend and I want to tell everyone about it."

"Idiot."

"So, how was college today?"

"Boring. How else would it be?"

"True."

"You're so lucky you got out."

"Hey! I did my time in college. Now it's your turn."

" *sighs* I know. By the way, today I told my owner that I'm moving out by the end of this month."

"Yeah? That's great! God, I can't believe we're moving in together!"

"I know right?"

"Of course, it took you forever to agree."

"Excuse me? You mean it took forever for you to ask. Because I said yes immediately."

"Oh whatever."

" *laughs* Can you believe we've been together for more than a year?"

"It still feels like yesterday that you insulted me."

"That's because it was. I did insult you yesterday."

"You insult me everyday, Hayles. Wouldn't be us without that. That's not what I meant though."

"Yeah. But no, I understand what you mean. To me, it still feels like yesterday that some idiot called me up instead of Domino's and yelled at me for being a bad employee."

"Ah. That was a good time."

"Sure it was."

" *laughs* I love you, you know that right?"

"Yeah. I love you too."

"I know."
