CRUSHES AND CONVERSATIONS
LAKE
Which dress looks better? *screenshot attached*
SUTTON
Ooh, am I your fashion consultant now?
LAKE
Don’t make me regret asking you.
SUTTON
Get both. They’re stunning on you.
LAKE
I would, but one dress costs me a week’s worth of groceries.
SUTTON
*sent $500*
LAKE
ARE YOU CRAZY??
SUTTON
Get. Both.
LAKE
Why would you do that? I didn’t ask you because I secretly hoped you would blow your money on me.
SUTTON
I know. I wanted to.
LAKE
I’m sending it back. I don’t know how Apple Pay works, but I’ll figure it out.
SUTTON
Are gifts a foreign concept to you?
LAKE
When they’re this expensive? YES.
SUTTON
The money was just going to collect dust anyways. All I spend it on is groceries, rent, and utilities. I don’t remember the last time I bought something for personal enjoyment.
LAKE
That’s…sad. And something we’ll unpack later. I don’t need both dresses.
SUTTON
God, I forgot how stubborn you are.
LAKE
I’m realistic. You don’t owe me anything.
SUTTON
No, but I seriously think you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t buy both. They were made for you.
SUTTON
Just as much as they were made for me to take off you.
LAKE
Ah, so the golden boy has an ulterior motive?
SUTTON
From where I see it, we both get what we want.
LAKE
I can’t believe I’m actually considering this.
SUTTON
Do I need to send another five hundred to sweeten the deal?
LAKE
NO!
SUTTON
The harder you resist, the more I want to.
LAKE
Where would I even wear these? They’re not brunch-with-my-mom casual.
SUTTON
On the many dates I have planned, obviously.
LAKE
You’re impossible.
SUTTON
I’m realistic.
