Maple:A girl can dream.
Graydon:Pick a different dream.
Maple:What do you suggest?
Graydon:Maybe more tacos on the back of a pickup truck?
Maple:Why would I dream about that when it already happened?
Graydon:Assumed you would want it to happen again.
Maple:Bold assumption.
Graydon:Nah, accurate one. I know you’re looking for more time with me.
Maple:How do you figure?
Graydon:The way you licked your lips when I came to pick you up this morning.
Graydon:After a long day at the zoo, what do you do to unwind?
Maple:Wow, it almost seems like you care about my day.
Graydon:Maybe I do.
Maple:Is that you admitting it?
Graydon:In a roundabout way.
Maple:Should I answer in a roundabout way?
Graydon:Not recommended.
Maple:Usually shower and figure out what I’m going to eat. Nothing too exciting.
Graydon:The shower seems exciting.
Maple:Because of getting the smell off me?
Graydon:Not what I was thinking, but sure.
Maple:And what were you thinking?
Graydon:Too much to text.
Maple:Voice message it.
Graydon:Pining to hear my voice, Baker?
Maple:No.
Graydon:Liar.
Maple:Please, don’t be insufferable tonight like every other night you’ve texted me.
Graydon:Insufferable, huh? And here I thought I was flirting…
Graydon:What are you doing, Baker?
