SEVENTY
Four Hours Later
Nathan: Did you get all your cooking done?
Rosie: It’s not even noon.
Nathan: Is that a no?
Rosie: I’m a professional, not a magician.
Nathan: Are you making meatballs today?
Rosie: Not if I keep getting interrupted.
Nathan: Mimes zipping lips.
Sunday - The Next Day
Nathan: How was your event yesterday?
Rosie: No complaints. No ambulances. Calling it a win.
Nathan: What flavor marshmallow did you make?
Rosie: Banana Cream.
Nathan: Banana? Rosie, how could you?
Rosie: What’s your problem with bananas?
Nathan: Nothing. When they stay in their lane.
Rosie: There’s a banana lane?
Nathan: Obviously. And it doesn’t include soiling marshmallows.
Rosie: I’m rolling my eyes.
Nathan: Pics or it didn’t happen.
Rosie: You’re ridiculous.
Nathan: Your banana marshmallows are ridiculous.
Rosie: They were Banana Cream. And I had a pie crust crumble on top, so basically a banana cream pie in marshmallow form.
Nathan: *snickers at cream pie*
Rosie: Rolling my eyes even harder.
Nathan: Do you have any left?
Rosie: Patience? No.
Nathan: Cute. But you know I’m asking about the marshmallows.
Rosie: Every last one was eaten. Because they’re so good.
Nathan: Hmm. How hard are they to make?
Rosie: My recipes are classified.
Nathan: Woman, I struggle making rice. I was not suggesting that I’d try to make them. I want you to make them. But I’m wondering if that’s something we can do after the bar or if sobriety is necessary?
Rosie: Sobriety is not necessary.
Nathan: Good.
Rosie: BUT
Nathan: *groans in banana marshmallow*
Rosie: They need hours to rest before eating.
Nathan: So… breakfast marshmallows.
Rosie: You’re impossible.
Monday
Nathan: I looked up a standard marshmallow recipe and ordered all the things.
Rosie: It’s 7 a.m.
Nathan: But I don’t know if you use real bananas or the fake flavor stuff. And I have creamer, but I don’t know if that’s the cream in banana cream.
Rosie: SEVEN
Nathan: And the recipe included nonstick spray, which is stupid because there are like a million options. So I got the regular kind, avocado, and grapeseed. Because grapes go with bananas.
Rosie: Nathan?
Nathan: Yeah, Beautiful?
Rosie: If you don’t let me go back to sleep, I’m going to suffocate you with a sheet of marshmallows.
Tuesday
Rosie: *sends picture of nonstick spray*
Rosie: I’ll bring the banana.
Nathan: I feel like that’s my line.
Rosie: Are you still 12?
