Me: Sloan took my phone and deleted your number since Magnolia threatened him, it took me two weeks to hack into Dexters phone when he was distracted. – he makes the best dog dad, and I can admit I took advantage of that.

Me: Sometimes I wonder if this is even your number anymore. I bought a ticket to Iowa, and I went, would have been nice if Magnolia clued me in that you worked remotely while in Iowa before…she told me it was karma. I don’t blame her.
