BISHOP: Okay. I’ve seen Jolene twice this week and Carson is forcing me to spend five minutes a day with someone new on the team.

WILLOW: That’s good. I’m proud of you.

Friday

BISHOP: Hey, Lana and Phoebe are coming into town next week to catch a game during Phoebe’s spring break. As much as I would love for them to stay at the team hotel, I don’t want to overwhelm them with the guys. Would it be okay if they stayed with you? I might have promised Phoebe she’d get to see you while she was down here.

WILLOW: Absolutely. I’d love to have them.

BISHOP: I owe you. Thanks.They’ll only be here two nights.

WILLOW: Lucky for you after this week, I’ll gladly take payment in orgasms.

BISHOP: I think I can help in that department.

Saturday

BISHOP: Did you know Stone became a dad at sixteen and still managed to make it to the majors?

WILLOW: Was he your five minutes today?

BISHOP: I’m freaking out about taking care of Phoebe and I’m in my thirties. I can’t even imagine at sixteen.

WILLOW: Wait, what do you mean taking care of Phoebe?

BISHOP: Shit. Can we pretend I didn’t say that?

WILLOW: Not a chance.

BISHOP: In their will, Jackson and Norah stated they wanted me to take care of Phoebe if anything happened to them.

WILLOW: And you’re going to?

BISHOP: First I’ve got to convince Lana I’ve got my shit together.

WILLOW: Phoebe will be lucky to have you in her corner no matter what happens.

BISHOP: I’m fucking terrified.

WILLOW: I believe in you.

BISHOP: I know you do.

Sunday

BISHOP: Are you home yet?

WILLOW: I told you it would be late. Are you okay?

BISHOP: Tell that to my blue balls.

WILLOW: So that’s all I’m good for?

BISHOP: No.

WILLOW: Is that your way of saying you missed me?

BISHOP: I may have missed having you around this week.
