It was good to see you smile again.
I wish it had been directed at me though.
Hear that clack? That’s the sound of my jaw hitting the floorin disbelief. Has he had a lobotomy? It’s really hard to believe this is the same man I’ve been dealing with since I got back.
Unless one of the guys at the firehouse has his phone.Oh. I bet that’s what this is.
Me
Well, you’ve not given me too many reasons to smile since I got back.
Axel
I’ll try to change that.
Me
Fixing the bakery will get me to smile.
Axel
Working on it.
Why were you sitting on Lucas’s lap? Is there something going on there?
This has got to be him. His crew weren’t there, so they wouldn’t know. Did that bother him? Do I want it to bother him?
Me
His thighs are comfy.
Axel
Right.
Me
LOL. I’m joking. It was a dare.
Axel
You guys were playing truth or dare? I hadn’t realized.
Me
Well, you were otherwise engaged… Besides, it’s tradition. It was time to reclaim my crown. I mean, it was probably the shortest game in history since Lucas activated the group chat and that got a little distracting.
Axel
Want to play?
Me
What? Truth or dare? Isn’t it a little difficult over text? And it’s getting late. Surely you should get some sleep so you don’t sleep through a fire alarm or something?
