Paige: I’m right handed.
Cade: Holy shit. Impressive.
Paige: Your turn.
Cade: My middle name is Thomas. I like pineapple on pizza. I hate cheese.
Paige: Surely you aren’t a monster who eats pineapple on pizza.
Cade: Pineapple on pizza is delicious! What kind of crazy person hates cheese?
Paige: Paige has left the chat.
Cade: Very funny, sunshine. You would never.
Paige: Fine, but you’re on thin ice, buddy.

Cade: Deal.

Paige: SOS I have to visit my dad and his girlfriend for Thanksgiving.
Cade: Wait… isn’t it like weeks away?
Paige: Nope. This weekend. Canada celebrates before you.
Cade: Cool, so someday when we run away and get married, we can celebrate twice.
Paige: Weird way to propose, but okay.
Friday, October 11th, 10:15pm
Cade: You won’t believe what happened.
Cade: I took my break early because I couldn’t wait to tell you.
Paige: I’m listening.
Cade: So I was behind the bar minding my business, when 2 girls walked in. The first one looked between me and Liam and said “I need something stiff.. and a drink” and then her friend looked straight at Liam and said “if that one wanted to pee on me, I’d let him” loud enough for the whole bar to hear. Liam disappeared out the back door after that.
Paige: I’m holding you entirely responsible for the drink I spit out all over my book. You owe me a paperback, buddy. Poor Liam.
Saturday, October 12th at 3:45pm
Paige: Settle a debate. Why do men choose photos of themselves holding up dead fish for their dating profiles?
Cade: The instinctual need to portray the ability to be a provider for your partner.
Cade: Or they just like to fish.
Paige: Damn, Cowboy. That was deep.

Cade: In case nobody told you today, I’m grateful for you.
Paige: Thank you
