I was not

Cole

Bullshit

You spaced out when we mentioned her

Ari

So?

That doesn’t mean anything

Cole

They might buy that, but I’m not

I’ve known you for close to a decade

You can’t get Lucia out of your mind

Ari

I hate you sometimes

Cole

You admitting it?

Ari

Might as well

You don’t believe me anyway

Cole

Damn

Was the sex that good?

Ari

It was definitely good

But not the best I’ve ever had or anything

We hooked up in a fucking supply closet

Cole

So why are you still thinking about her?

Ari

Fuck if I know

I turn my phone over and ignore any more messages from Cole.
