Shitty

Firecracker

Why’s that?

And don’t you dare say it

Ryan

Because you’re not here

Firecracker

*sigh* I told you not to say it

How’s the bus actually?

Ryan

It’s fine. Coop is snoring like a trucker

My eyes slideto where he’s slumped against the window. Times like these make me glad we don’t share hotel rooms on away trips. I don’t think I’d get any sleep with him sawing logs like this.

Firecracker

Shouldn’t you be sleeping too? Resting up for tonight’s game?

Ryan

Probably, but I’d rather talk to you

Firecracker

Ryan…

Ryan

What? I can say things like that now, right?

That’s what this whole “seeing how things go” is all about, yeah?

Firecracker

I miss you too, weirdo

Ryan

Sooo what are you doing the week of the all-star game?

Firecracker

Uhhh, I’m not sure. Probably going to be an office week since you don’t have any home games until after

Why? Aren’t you on the team?

Ryan
