Susan: Did you really make a poor little freshman drop off a McDonald’s breakfast feast for me at 7am?
Adam: a McDonald’s breakfast biscuit is the best for hangovers
Susan: And you thought I needed 30 of them?
Adam: At least
Adam: I was at the gym or I would have dropped it off

Adam: So you saw the third quarter
Susan: You mean your surprise catch on the trick play that you ran for thirty yards!? Yes I saw it!
Susan: I spilled my drink all over your jersey
Adam: I’ll get you a new one
Susan: I’m shaking my car keys right now
Adam: Where are you?
Susan: Just sitting on my bed in the kappa house jingling my giant keychain
Adam: Your poor roommates
Susan: I just told them I was texting you, now they’re all ringing their keys too
Adam: Nerds
Susan: Slowpoke
Adam: What?
Susan: Your run, mr. Giant Slow Tight End.
Adam: Take that back
Susan: You first
Adam: Fine, you’re not a nerd.
Susan: Yes I am and you are better at tackles, Cap. Seriously it looked like you were running in slow-mo.
Adam: I’m not getting you a New Jersey.
Susan: lol. Diet Coke washes right out anyway. See you Friday!
_____
Susan: We’re leaving from CC HQ instead of BC HQ, right?
Adam: Yes
Adam: And which is it going to be this time?

Adam: Well do you think you can pencil it in
Susan: I suppose =)
_____
Susan: I look ridiculous in your sweatshirt. It’s like a dress
Adam: It’s warm
Susan: Only after I put about 80 layers on underneath!
Adam: It’s what player’s girlfriends wear around campus.
Susan: do they die of hypothermia? I need a coat!
Adam: No reported deaths so far
Susan: Someone has to go first
Adam: You do love being a leader
Susan: =/
_____
Adam: I’m here.
Adam: Ready to hear if you’re dragging me to the World’s Largest Shovel, or the Dinosaur Parade
Susan: The shovel. Of course.
Susan: There are a few more boxes than I thought, I’m trying to find a dolly.
Adam: I’ll come in.
Susan: It’s okay, Henry is here, he said he’d carry them down.
Adam: I’m already in the elevator.
_____
Susan: So your family at 11, my family at 5
Adam: That’s what your Official Thanksgiving Week Itinerary says
Susan: Very funny. I mean, did you make sure that’s okay with your mom?
Adam: Yes
Susan: What should I bring?
Adam: Nothing
Susan: I can’t let your mom do it all herself
Adam: We have a chef
Susan: Oh
Susan: Fancy
Susan: Do I need to wear a dress?
Adam: No
Susan: You don’t really know, do you
Adam: No
Susan: Are you wearing jeans?
Adam: Yes but I have to wear a button up shirt
Susan: Got it.
Adam: What’s on your checklist for me?
Susan: Beers for my dad. The local IP whatever kind you drink so he can try one. Change of clothes for game night.
Adam: Change of clothes?
Susan: You will want a t-shirt and shorts.
Adam: For board games?
Susan: And some very intense charades probably. You’ll get sweaty, trust me. We all change beforehand and none of us are as hot as you.
Adam: You think I’m hot?
Susan: Har har har, so funny.
Adam: Hey
Adam: Just a heads up again, my dad and brother will be dicks the whole time. I might turn into one too.
Susan: You? Being a jerk? I can’t even imagine such a thing
Adam: When did Snarky Spice get here
Susan: I THOUGHT WE AGREED NO MORE SPICE GIRLS
Adam: I never agreed.
Adam: Anyway, I will try but I’m sorry in advance for my family.
Susan: I am sorry for mine too
Adam: What do you mean?
Susan: You are going to be the weakest game player and they are not going to let you live it down.
Adam: Did you forget I play a game for stadiums of 80K people?
Adam: I am also the captain of a team
Susan: This is not smash man throw ball grunt grunt, Adam.
Susan: Great board gaming requires clear communication. You’re going to be eviscerated. I honestly hope you’re not on my team.
Adam: Doesn’t your boyfriend have to be on your team?
Susan: We draw names.
Adam: I’m starting to get a little scared.
Susan: You should be. My mom and dad will stop speaking at some point if they’re on the same team, someone will quit mid-games and at least two people cry every year.
Adam: Well shit.
Susan: Don’t say shit in front of my family!
Adam: Okay
Adam: But I’m telling you now, you’re going to want me on your team.
