What do I call you?

Silas

You don’t.

Lilith

Cryptic. Very helpful.

Silas

You think so?

Lilith

No, I was being sarcastic. You suck at conversation.

Silas

That’s fair.

Lilith

So what, you just texted to give me another literary quote and that’s it?

Silas

You left me your number.

Lilith

Didn’t mean you had to use it.

Silas

Then why give it to me?

Lilith

Why take it ?

Silas

You offered.

Lilith

I was intrigued.

Silas

Me too.

Lilith

Well, that settles it. We’re both intrigued. What a thrilling conclusion.

Silas
