“Of course not, that would go againstmyentire platform.”
“Exactly! Everyone gets a little nip, a little tuck here and there. Who cares about fillers? But going onto your platform and flat out lying about changing your face when we can see you have changed your face? It bugs me so much.”
“But it’s Callie, she’s always been that way.”
Jules shakes her head. “Anyway, who cares? Which books did you get me?”
I show her the books I picked up for her and they’re exactly what she was looking for. I pay for her books, and we leave the bookstore to head to the grocery store so I can buy items for dinner.
Lavinia
Kita invited me to her apartment.
Roman
I told you she liked you.
Lavinia
She also called me Lucy.
Roman
You’re definitely not a Lucy.
Lavinia
Ooh, you sound so confident. Maybe my alter ego is a Lucy.
Roman
Your alter ego is definitely not a Lucy. She’s probably just Lavinia.
Lavinia
My alter ego is just me? I’m too boring to even have an interesting alter ego???
Roman
I love how in sync we are after only three months of marriage. I’ve heard it takes people years to misconstrue everything their partner says.
Lavinia
We do have a shared history. I think that cuts down on a lot of time hence why you already know I’m boring and there’s no mystery to our relationship.
Roman
Do people actually still use hence?
Lavinia
I used it, and I’m still people, last time I checked.
Roman
If that’s the lie you’ve been telling yourself, no wonder you think you’re boring. I think you’re some kind of ethereal being sent here to make the rest of us look bad by example.
