CastGamer55:Oh, I see. You think I owe you.

SawyerRox4:No! You don’t owe me anything. I was mostly kidding

CastGamer55:I do owe you though. I don’t mind. Let me just think of something.

SawyerRox4:It’s OK. You really don’t have to.

CastGamer55:Mindy.

SawyerRox4:Danny.

CastGamer55:Oh, do you remember the colleague I’ve been clashing with lately?

SawyerRox4:Yes, how could I forget?

SawyerRox4:I mean, because I really identified with it.

Because you, Roxy, are obsessed with Danny’s colleague, who’s a woman.

That would be ridiculous. I’d never given it a thought.

Or had I? I probably just hadn’t admitted it to myself.

But I had no business thinking that way. None. He was a buddy. An online friend I didn’t even know very well.

CastGamer55:You know me pretty well now. You know I don’t spend much time talking about other people. But she’s my nemesis, or I thought she was.

SawyerRox4:What’s been going on?

CastGamer55:She’s just been different.

SawyerRox4:What, like she had a glow-up? She’s suddenly nicer? Harsher? Depressed?

CastGamer55:None of those. It’s hard to pin down. Maybe she’s a little depressed, I don’t know.

SawyerRox4:What has changed?

CastGamer55:Maybe I’m just discovering that she’s much more complicated than I expected.

SawyerRox4:Is that a good thing?

CastGamer55:Yes.

CastGamer55:No. I don’t know.

SawyerRox4:I see.

CastGamer55:It doesn’t make sense, I know. I shouldn’t have brought it up.

SawyerRox4:It’s totally fine. I like hearing about you.

SawyerRox4:Gotta go. Goodbye.

CastGamer55:Oh, I didn’t realize we were concluding.

CastGamer55:Bye.

SawyerRox4:Goodbye again.
