Claire: Punish me, Jack, make me pay for what I’ve done x

Jack: Oh, we’ll get to that . . . Making you wait is part of your punishment

Claire: I haven’t stopped thinking about you

Even when I’m with my husband, it’s you that’s taking me all the way x

Jack: Only a real man like me can take you all the way

When I’m with my wife, all I can think about is you in that red lingerie . . .

Claire: My husband doesn’t even know I own that. It’s for you and you only x

Jack: Still, your husband is one lucky man getting to enjoy the body underneath the lingerie

Claire: Too bad he doesn’t appreciate it

Jack: If it were me, I’d be making sure your body was appreciated every single night . . .

Not just appreciated . . . worshipped

Claire: Ugh, there you go again knowing the exact right thing to say x

I wish you could just break in and save me x

Jack: I’d give anything . . .

Claire: Do you ever feel like you’re trapped in your own life?

Jack: Constantly. Sometimes I feel like I’m not really living . . . I’m just existing

Claire: Yes! I had a terrible void in my chest for so long

It only goes away when you’re in my life

I guess that’s why I missed you x

Jack: Honestly, I really thought I’d lost you.

I checked every day to see if your little green light would appear

Claire: I thought when I deleted the app, my profile was gone forever

As soon as I realized I could sign back in, I came back x

Jack: I’m so glad you did

Life felt so empty without you

Claire: Maybe we were lovers in a past life x

Jack: Maybe I was an old Irish king and you were my queen

Claire: Or maybe you were a Greek sculptor and I was your muse x

Jack: No, I’d be too greedy . . .

I’d keep all your sculptures to myself so I wouldn’t have to share that perfect body
