Sounds nice.

Wish I was there.

Maggie:

Me, too.

I could use a snuggle buddy tonight.

Me:

Is that right?

Maggie:

Yeah, my heat has been acting up.

Me:

You don’t have any heat?

Maggie:

No, but we’re okay.

Me:

Why didn’t you say anything?

Maggie:

Because we’re okay.

I’ve got some little heaters I borrowed from Mom.

And the kids are bundled up. I’ve got the HVAC guy coming tomorrow.

Me:

I’ll be there in ten.

Maggie:

Are you sure?

It’s cold and dark.

We can make it until morning.

Me:

There's no way I’m leaving you three there with no heat, babe.

I’ll be there in ten.

Maggie:

The kids are here.
