Margot

Dex:

Hey.

Me:

Hey.

Dex:

Oh thank God—I thought for sure there was a chance you’d blocked me.

Me:

That would have been the smart thing to do, wouldn’t it? But it seems I’ve made some really bad decisions since meeting you.

Dex:

Ouch. Guess I deserved that.

Me:

Guess you did.

Dex:

K, you don’t have to keep agreeing with me, I already feel like shit.

Me:

Oh! I’m so sorry! I keep forgetting this is aboutYouand yourCareerand what’s going to makeYoulook like a rockstar.

Dex:

If you heard me sing, you wouldn’t compare me to a rockstar.

Me:

I’m not even remotely amused by you right now.

Dex:

Sorry, I’m just trying to lighten the mood.

Me:

Yes, well. Don’t bother.

Dex:

Margot, I know I fucked up—it’s not the first time, but you’re the last person I want to hurt. Can we get together and talk, please?

Me:

What’s there to talk about, Dex? You made it pretty clear where your priorities lie.
