No, that’s okay, thank you though.
AMY
BTW
Let your mischievous side come out to play for a little while today.
It took me a moment to realise it was my horoscope. She’d taken to sending them to me most mornings, and it was the highlight of my day; not because I cared much what my horoscope said, but because it broke the texting seal so I could message her back without worrying if it was too much. As long as she kept sending them to me, I knew I hadn’t scared her off.
PHIL
That’ll be hard to do, but I’ll see if Ethel is up for a bit of poker maybe.
AMY
Do you know what your moon and rising signs are btw?
PHIL
…no?
AMY
Do you know what time you were born?
I did know, but only because a girl I’d dated in uni had asked me and I’d had to phone Ethel, who knew down to the minute. So instead of telling Amy, I opened my browser and found something that would calculate my moon and rising signs.
PHIL
Aries moon, Cancer rising apparently
AMY
Hmmmmmmmm interesting
PHIL
Why, what does that mean?
AMY
That you’re a prick
PHIL
Omg wow, you’re SO funny
AMY
I mean, that’s what the cards say, too. I don’t make the rules.
PHIL
Maybe you need new cards.
