SAHAR

We all have a weakness. I respect that yours is apparently ice cream.

JAY

What’s yours?

SAHAR

Everything bagels and sour candy.

JAY

Should’ve told me that earlier. I would save a bagel for you every day.

SAHAR

You’re not there every day.

Lord.Why would she say it like that? It sounded weirdly romantic in her head, like she noticed when he was gone.Of course, she noticed.But still.

She groaned, hating herself a little bit.

JAY

I could still have one waiting for you. Just say the word.

SAHAR

How about instead of every day, maybe every time you’re there?

JAY

Deal.

Still not tired?

Was he growing tired of her? Wouldn’t he just stop responding if that were the case?

SAHAR

No. I’m going to be miserable tomorrow. Are you working?

JAY

Yeah, I am.

SAHAR

You should sleep. You have to be up earlier than me.

JAY

I would if I could.

SAHAR

What do you hate? What bores you? I’ll start talking about it, and maybe you’ll fall asleep.
