TEXT THREAD BETWEEN ALEX AND ASPEN

Aspen: Hi, this is Aspen. We met at the bar last weekend.

Alex: So we did. How did you get my number?

Aspen: Eden fell asleep, so I looked through her phone.

Alex: Will she appreciate this when she wakes up?

Aspen: Dude, she’s had the same passcode for ten years. I keep telling her to change it, but she doesn’t listen, so this is on her.

Alex: That tracks. What can I do for you?

Aspen: I don’t know how to put this in a diplomatic way, but Eden needs new clothes.

Alex: What happened to hers?

Aspen: Spaghetti stains mostly.

Alex: And what do you want me to do about this?

Aspen: That’s up to you. I just figured that if you’re gonna be doing all this PR stuff, you’d probably prefer your girlfriend to be wearing clean clothes. And I would take her shopping myself, but neither of us have the funds.

Alex: Does this mean she’s agreeing to the deal?

Aspen: Not necessarily. But it might help.

Alex: Okay, I’ll drop off my card in the morning.

Aspen: Wait, what? I was just thinking you could give her an advance or something.

Alex: No, that money is for her future. Just put it all on my card.
