James: Hey
Winnie : Seriously? You’re gonna lead with hey?
James: Greetings
James: Hello
James: Aloha
Winnie: You forgot hi.
James: Hi
Winnie: *gif of Stanley from the Office rolling his eyes*
Winnie : Hi.
James: How have you been?
Winnie: I’m sure you don’t need to ask. There was a whole Neighborly thread on my emotional well-being or lack thereof. The poll is 50/50 on who broke whose heart.
James: There’s a poll?
Winnie: There was until I deleted the thread.
James: Well, I don’t believe the rumors. I’d rather hear from the source.
James: So, how are you?
Winnie: Is this your weird version of an apology? Because it kind of sucks.
James: No. An apology will be made in person at a date as yet to be determined
Winnie : Okayyyy
Winnie: Be sure to send me an evite so I can clear my very busy schedule.
James: Oh, you won’t miss the apology. Trust me
Winnie: Now I’m scared.
James: Speaking of Neighborly, congratulations on the big sale
Winnie: Thanks. I think.
James: How do you feel about it?
Winnie : Since you asked, Dr. Freud, I’m feeling a lot richer.
Winnie: And I negotiated to keep control of the Sheet Cake part of the app.
James: You are an excellent negotiator
James : But you really WANT to keep moderating this town’s gossip?
Winnie: No. But I don’t want a stranger doing it either.
James: Control freak
Winnie: If I’m the pot, you’re the kettle. Or vice versa.
James: Ready for your question of the day?
Winnie: That deal expired when you fired me the second time.
James: Sorry about that
Winnie: I thought you were giving me an apology at a later date? That was a little underwhelming.
James: I owe you multiple apologies. Consider that a teaser
James: How about a new deal?
Winnie: You think I’m interested in making a new deal with you?
James: I’ve given you every reason NOT to be
James: But I’d like to reopen negotiations
Winnie: Ugh
Winnie: Fine. One question a day.
James: An hour
Winnie: What??????
James: One question per hour for twelve hours daily
Winnie: You’re crap at negotiating.
James: Is that a yes?
Winnie: NO
James: Six questions per day
Winnie: Three
James: Done
James: First question. How do you like your eggs?
Winnie: THAT’S your question? EGGS?
James: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
James: And can also be had for dinner
Winnie: I prefer my eggs (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) inside baked goods. Cakes, muffins, waffles, etc.
James: Noted. Have a good morning, Winchester.

James: What’s your favorite book
Winnie: Good morning to you too.
James: Morning
Winnie: Not good? Just a morning
James: Just a morning. What’s your favorite book?
Winnie: I have too many to list them.
James: Try me
Winnie: Okay. You asked for it …

James: Night owl or morning person
Winnie: Hello to you too. I’m having a great day, thanks for asking.
James: Hi, temp
James: How’s your day?
Winnie: Thanks for the muffins! I assume those were from you?
James: You’re welcome
James: So night owl or morning person
Winnie: Night owl. You’ve seen me in the mornings. I’m surprised you even asked.
James: You look beautiful in the mornings
Winnie: Even before coffee?
James: Especially before coffee
Winnie: Liar!
Winnie: I look like a troll’s ugly stepsister before coffee!
James: No
James: Before coffee, you look like the truest version of yourself. Fierce, strong, soft, real.
Winnie : I … thank you
Winnie : When is this apology happening? Just, you know, so I’m prepared.
James: Soon
James: But not soon enough
