Mark: Cordy. I know you’re still reading these. Talk to me.

Cordelia: I’m not helpless.

Cordelia: Sure, I’m silly and WHATEVER but I’m not an idiot.

Mark: You’re not an idiot.

Cordelia: Aren’t you at church? We can talk later.

Mark: 2HR time difference, remember? And yes we WILL talk later. Aren’t you at church?

Cordelia: House church. Can’t get out of the driveway. Snow and stuff.

Mark: Be safe.

Cordelia: Stop saying that! What are you, my mom???????

Mark: Zipping…

Mark: JK. One more thing. For your house church: Proverbs 19:20: “Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.”

Cordelia: You are LITERALLY the worst. Go bug someone else. BYE.

Mark: Don’t tell any of the online people where you live.

Cordelia: BYEEE

Mark: Promise me.

Cordelia: Yes, okay, fine. No telling good-looking men that I meet online where I live because that would be moronic.

Cordelia: I’M NOT AN IDIOT.

Bing!

Gilbert: Morning, Champ. I know it’s too late for church. Sorry I didn’t get the drive unblocked earlier, but it’s clear now.

Cordelia: Oh! Awesome. Thanks. I didn’t realize you were out there, I would have joined you.

Gilbert: Should I pretend I didn’t see you watching from the kitchen window?

Cordelia: Gah! They’re on to me. Who keeps ratting me out???

Gilbert: *GIF of Michael Scott peeking through window blinds*

Cordelia: I’m having lunch with Diana and the gang, want to come?

Gilbert: *Typing bubbles appear and disappear*

Cordelia: There’s plenty of food. And of course I’m bringing my leftovers from work.

Gilbert: You have the coolest job.

Cordelia: *GIF of the animated Alice in her blue dress and white apron dipping into a prim curtsy*

Gilbert: I usually have Sunday lunch with Aunt J
