Adam
I miss you.
Casey
We saw each other last night.
I know.
I still miss you.
I miss the taste of your skin. The smell of your pheromones.
I miss feeling you beside me as I sleep.
I’m dying without you.
Adam
Can you come tonight?
Casey
I can’t. Marshall’s got this event at the hospital. He wants me to go with him.
I have to wear a suit.
You’ll look very handsome.
I wish I could see you in it.
I wish you could too.
Adam
You scratched up my back last night. My little kitty cat.
Casey
OMG I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Is it bad?
So bad.
Do it again.
Adam
I saw one of your murals today. It had the signature you showed me. It’s a pod of dolphins at a fish store.
Casey
Embarrassing >.< I did that five years ago. I’m so much better now.
And I’m still impressed.
You’re so talented, Casey.
Adam
Would you like to top twenty tonight?
Casey
Nooo. That was too many. And it wasn’t twenty, it was twenty-four.
You lost count. If you bring that up one more time, I’m going to punish you.
Maybe I want you to.
Casey
Are you free this afternoon?
Adam
I have nothing but time for you.
I saw a plant nursery on my way home from work. I thought you might want to see it.
I am so excited right now, I think I might die.
Please don’t.
I’m coming to get you.
Casey
I miss you so much.
Adam
We’ll see each other tonight.
It’s not soon enough.
I need you.
I want you.
I’m right here.
