Okay fine, it’s a little about you too. But also the mattress. I really like your mattress.

Me

Fair. It is a really good mattress. It’s an even better one when you’re on it with me.

Caitlin

You’re really on a roll today. You back?

Me

Just landed.

Caitlin

Sorry I fell asleep before we could talk last night. Congrats on the win.

Me

You watched the game?

Caitlin

I mean, if you count giving myself a pedicure, proofreading a memo, and shopping online for stuff I don’t need while the game was on in the background as watching, then sure, I totally watched.

Me

What color are your toes?

Caitlin

Orange with black sparkles so I can be all festive and shit. What’s your deal with my toes anyway?

Me

I love your toes. I’m obsessed with your toes. I love how the perfect, pantsuit wearing, never puts a wrong foot forward Caitlin Parker paints her toes the brightest, wackiest colors. It’s so fucking sexy.

So, did you wear my jersey while you watched the game?

Caitlin

[eyeroll emoji] When I told you I don’t wear men’s names on my back, I wasn’t fucking around. The only name I wear is my own.

So how was the flight?

Me

I see you avoiding talking more about wearing my name on your back, so I’ll let it go, but rest assured I’ll have you at a game in one of my jerseys before the season is over.

Caitlin

Don’t hold your breath, Pretty Boy. Wearing a man’s name is archaic, patriarchal bullshit. Couldn’t be me.

So, the flight? Now I’m really asking.

Me

I’ve never been happier to be off a plane in my life.
