JOEL: My shirt is still drying out.

KENZIE: No jokes this morning. My swollen eyes and post-Shadowlands headache can’t take it.

JOEL: I had no idea one body could produce that many tears. You defied biology.

KENZIE: At least I gave you a date you’ll never forget.

JOEL: It’ll go down in the history books. Want to stage a dramatic breakup?

KENZIE: I’m not really the dramatic type.

JOEL: It felt pretty dramatic when you grabbed me in that storeroom.

KENZIE: Are you ever going to let that go?

JOEL: Probably not.

KENZIE: *GIF of a person burying their head in their hands*

JOEL: I doubt the town can handle more drama, though.

KENZIE: What are you talking about?

JOEL: Have you checked your phone this morning?

KENZIE: No. I’m on my laptop. My phone’s on Do Not Disturb.

JOEL: Do it.

KENZIE: WHAT?! I have so many messages. Everyone’s checking up on me like something terrible happened.

JOEL: It appears I’m evil incarnate for making you cry.

KENZIE: I have no words.

JOEL: Not to worry. The townsfolk have plenty to say on your behalf.

KENZIE: What are they saying?

JOEL: You don’t want to know.

KENZIE: I’m so sorry.

JOEL: I’ve survived worse.

KENZIE: I feel morally obligated to save your reputation.

JOEL: My reputation’s already taken a nosedive, so go ahead and dump me.

KENZIE: I can’t. They’ll never forgive you.

JOEL: I’m not worried. This will all blow over.

KENZIE: We need a public redemption arc.

JOEL: No.

KENZIE: My phone’s dying...

JOEL: You’re a bad liar, even over text.

KENZIE: I have to go.

JOEL: Kenzie, don’t do anything stupid!
