Felix: I’m not doing anything this week. I can come over and be your security.

Harper: Not a good idea.

Felix: Why not?

Harper: You know why.

Felix: Because I’m irresistible.

Harper: Felix!

Felix: Because you won’t be able to keep your hands off me.

Harper: I’m not doing this.

Felix: I’m okay with no touching. Doesn’t mean I won’t be touching myself thinking about you.

Harper: You can’t say these things to me.

Harper: I need another tequila.

Felix: I’d happily guard your body day and night.

Harper: Felix, stop. You promised.

Felix: You’re right, I did.

Harper: I have enough on my plate dealing with a vengeful ex. I don’t need you adding to it.

Now I feel like an asshole.

Felix: You’re right. I’m sorry.

Harper: Please don’t worry about me. You have enough going on with your ex. You don’t have to worry about me and mine.

What am I supposed to say to that?

Felix: I worry, it’s what I do. I’m Canadian.

Harper: Thank you. I appreciate everything you did for me today. And everything you did on the island.

Felix: Anytime.

Harper: Also, I had no idea you were his favorite hockey player.

That was pretty funnywhen he said that.

Felix: Karma.

Harper: For sure.

Harper: Night.

Felix: Night, Harper.

My phone is ringingand when I roll over, I see it’s my brother calling.

“Hey,” I groan, picking up my phone.
