Dude, what did you do?

Lucky

That’s a weird thanks, Lex.

Lexie

I will deal with you tonight, Lucky.

Linc

Oh shit. That doesn’t sound good.

Lexie

Mind your business and wear your damn headphones tonight, Lincoln.

Linc

Wait. What the fuck?

Lucky

I’m confused. Are you pissed or happy?

Lexie

You’re mom’s going to be pissed if I don’t get these flowers out of the shop before she comes in tomorrow.

Lucky

I’ll get Ryker and Jamie to help.

Lexie

Good move.

I open a new chat without Linc.

Lexie

I’m not pissed, but you didn’t need to do that. I don’t need a grand gesture. I need you to hear what I’m saying.

Lucky

You were ten years old the first time you told me daisies were your favorite flower. Linc had just squished the white ones your mom used to plant in your backyard. He landed on them trying to catch a football, and you cried because he killed them.

Lexie

He laughed because he killed them.

Lucky

And you said everything should get a chance to live.

Lexie

How do you remember that?
