Before They Met: Notes exchanged at the Moonlight
Dwayne!
Love the new stationery. Thought I should let you know these note pads are fun.
My crêpes are better than your pancakes ?
Lindy
Hey Dwayne,
We’re running a little low on sugar. Just thought I’d let you know.
Is it okay to write on this?
Amory
Dear Lindy,
I appreciate your note, but after consideration, I determined you are wrong.
The Moonlight appreciates your hard work, and we would especially appreciate it if you made pancakes. Real ones.
Dwayne
Sorry, I swear I didn’t look at your note, Dwayne, but I think we need more peach cobbler tomorrow, please?
This is Amory by the way.
Dwayne,
Crêpes are French, and the French know what to do when you’re feeling too tightly wound and grumpy. They take soft, luscious batter, fry it, and wrap it around a hard, firm chocolate core.
I think you should do that too, Dwayne. You need something French in your life. Or, you know, provenance doesn’t matter. Something to melt your chocolate, Dwayne. You need your chocolate melted.
Lindy
Hey Dwayne,
So we need paper towels for the customer bathroom, and I noticed we’re running a little low on tampons for the staff one.
Thank you!
Amory
Thanks for letting me know, kid. Good job.
Shopping done.
D.
Lindy,
Are you seriously worrying about my chocolate pancakes?
Dwayne
Dwayne,
If they look like chocolate pancakes, you should go see a doctor. But yes. Seriously. I know single people of all genders. All joking aside, I will set you up. They need something nice in their lives.
Lindy
Lindy,
Stick to your see-through chocolate spread wrappers, FFS. I don’t date.
Also? Your boss.
Dwayne
My Boss!
I apologize for discussing your pancakes with you! I was simply hoping to get you to join us on the crêpe side of life.
Lindy
Hey Lindy,
Sorry I forgot to turn on the dishwasher yesterday. Long night. Won’t happen again.
Amory
?
That’s okay, Amory. I already blamed Dwayne.
Lindy
Hey Dwayne,
I’m so sorry, it was my bad with the dishwasher. I already apologized to Lindy.
It won’t happen again!
Amory
Fuck with me all you like, but don’t fuck with the kid, Lindy. I’m serious.
Dwayne
Dwayne,
I don’t fuck with Amory, but he’s too much like you. He needs to live a little too. I teased him. Big sister teasing, you know.
You’re mothering him.
Lindy
Hey Dwayne,
Lindy apologized. If you were mad at her, don’t be, okay?
Also, we need napkins. We’re almost out.
Amory
Dwayne,
Did you buy a metric shit ton of napkins? What the hell. You should spend your nights getting laid like I’ve been saying, not mail ordering NAPKINS THAT WILL SMOTHER US IN OUR SLEEP.
I think the napkins are devouring my pen.
Li…
Hey Dwayne,
I moved things around in the storage room, but I had to move some of the napkins into your office.
Hope that’s okay.
Amory
Got us the yearly supply on sale. Good job finding room for it, kid. Keep it up. ?
Dwayne
