Also, I realize telling you I didn’t want Barb to scare you off makes it sound like I think this is a real relationship, which we both know it’s not
I don’t want you to think I’m some kind of crazy psycho who thinks this is real
Um…now I realize I doubly sound like a crazy psycho, because a crazy psycho would claim she wasn’t
8:31
If I thought you were a crazy psycho, I wouldn’t have asked you to help me. You come with very good references
You checked references? Who did you ask?
Not that I care. I don’t have anything to hide
Well, I don’t want everyone to know I’m only pretending to be your girlfriend, so I guess I’m hiding THAT. Not that I’m trying to actually become your girlfriend
Now you really think I’m a psycho
8:32
Finley, relax. I want to keep this arrangement quiet as well. Maggie and Bethany are your references, so it was kind of a joke, albeit a bad one..
Would you like me to delete ALL of our texts after the last one I deleted?
8:33
Yes, please
So have you changed your mind about bringing me now? I think it’s too late to get my retainer back from my attorney, but I understand if I’ve scared you off
8:34
You haven’t scared me off. But it just now occurs to me that you’re paying for an attorney to have this contract drawn up. Please let me repay you for the retainer and any other legal expenses
8:35
A friend paid the retainer for me, and trust me, you do NOT want to repay her. My attorney is a friend of a friend, so after the retainer, I don’t owe him anything. But that does remind me of the last thing I need to know
8:38
And that would be…?
8:40
Since you and your brother shared a room, I’m presuming you didn’t share a bed…?
8:43
My brother and I slept in twin beds on opposite sides of the room.
Oh, good, because my only demand was that if you had bunk beds, I refuse to sleep on top
(My attorney wanted to call them all demands, but I insisted on requests.)
