Luke: Hmm. Good to know. Forehead tattoos were next on the docket.
Princess: Might I suggest something other than a barcode?
Luke: Guess I’m heading back to the drawing board.
Luke: What are you doing tonight?
Princess: Eating takeout in my hotel room.
Luke: Want some company?
Princess: You in LA?
Luke: I’m in my kitchen. But I’ve heard of this thing called FaceTime. And I’d like to try it.
Princess: With jokes like that, how can I resist?
Luke: I am irresistible. Okay, let me order my own food, then I’m calling.
Princess: So, first game of the season this week. How are you feeling?
Luke: Excited, but in the way where you might throw up.
Princess: I can only imagine the pressure of playing in front of a crowd like that. But according to my friend, The Internet, you’re pretty good at what you do. So I doubt you have anything to worry about.
Luke: Thanks, Princess. That’s sweet of your friend to say, and I still feel good. But…
Princess: But…?
Luke: I’m gonna be thirty-seven in a few months, and I feel it. I know I’m good for this season. And maybe the next. But I know I need to start thinking about what’s after.
Luke: Sorry, I didn’t mean to go that deep.
Luke: That’s what she said.
Luke: But seriously, I wasn’t trying to complain.
Princess. First, did you seriously just do a that’s what she said to your own comment? Second, I don’t mind you going deep.
Princess: That’s what she said.
Princess: But seriously, I’m happy to talk or not talk about whatever you want.
Luke: I respect you so much more now that you set yourself up for that same joke.
Princess: Thanks?
Luke: Distract me. Ask me a question.
Princess: Why do you call me Princess?
Luke: Because that very first time I saw you, you were languishing across that weight bench like a princess in a drawing. Or like those cartoons growing up where the reigning royal was always reclined on a pile of pillows while someone fed them grapes and someone else fanned them with palm fronds.
Luke: I wish I’d taken a picture.
Luke: But I didn’t because that would have been creepy.
Princess: Now I kinda wish you’d taken a picture too.
