OK babe. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable. So, what questions do you have for me?

Shit, shit, shit. I’m not ready.

Me

How did you get the scar in your eyebrow?

Axel

My scar? That’s your question?

I cracked it on the corner of a countertop I was installing. Needed a couple of stitches.

That could have blinded him. I want to wrap him up in my arms and kiss it better.

Me

OMG!!!! Are you ok?!

Axel

LOL babe it was like 5 years ago now, I’m all good.

How about you ask me what you really want to know?

Dammit. He knows me too well.

Me

How wouldit work?

Axel

Well, I’d insert tab A into slot B.

Me

Can you be serious right now?

Axel

What? That’s how it works.

Me

Axel…

Axel

OK, sorry. I was just trying to make you laugh.

It’ll work however we want it to work, Sprinks. I’m open to taking your lead on this.

I can tell you about what I have in mind and then you tell me what you can and can’t do if that helps.
