Matteo
Are you up?
Jade
I was just getting ready for bed.
Is everything okay?
Matteo
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, no.
I was thinking about what your favorite color is and realized I don’t know it.
Jade
Do you want to know what it is?
Matteo
I want to know everything about you.
Jade
You’re obsessed. Admit it.
Matteo
I’m not denying it.
Jade
It’s purple. What’s yours?
Matteo
Blue.
What’s your favorite food?
Jade
I love Italian.
Matteo
Baked ziti is Italian-American, Sunny.
Jade
Okay, well let me rephrase. I love anything with pasta.
What’s yours?
Matteo
Lobster rolls.
Jade
I’ve never had one.
Matteo
We’ll have to change that.
Birthday?
Jade
September 20. You?
Matteo
August 7.
Jade
Sweatpants or jeans?
Matteo
Lol. Sweatpants.
Do you like podcasts?
Jade
Sometimes. Do you?
Matteo
Not really, but I listen to my sister’s.
Jade
Your sister has one? Which one?
Matteo
Elena. She and my cousin Tella started it together.
They talk about women’s sports and women in sports.
Jade
Is it only about women’s sports?
Matteo
For the most part. Elena’s a bit of a man hater.
Jade
Sold. What’s the name of it?
Matteo
Women Running the Plays
Jade
I’ll add it to my list.
Matteo
Elena will love to hear it.
Okay, a few more questions and then I promise I’ll let you get to bed.
Jade
You know, you could always come over and ask me in person instead.
Matteo
I have an early flight, though.
Jade
Suit yourself.
Matteo
What I meant was, I’ll have to leave before you’re awake.
Jade
I don’t mind.
Matteo
Be there in fifteen.
Jade
Meet you in the lobby.
Matteo
You should just give me a key. Then you wouldn’t have to come down to let me in every time.
Jade
And give you access to my place whenever you want?
Matteo
Duh.
Jade
Hmmm…
I’ll think about it.
Matteo
See you soon, Sunny baby.
