Anya: And he gets kind of cranky if he goes too long without touching me? Not even sexually, just like, he’s happier if he can sit next to me so our knees can touch or he can put his arm around my waist or whatever
Simone: Brb getting another pill
Simone: No I’m kidding this is very sweet
Simone: But also, having met you, you’re not feeling kinda suffocated?
Anya: SIMONE, THAT IS THE WEIRD PART
Anya: I don’t at all
Anya: If anything I feel really comforted that he’s always around?
Anya: It’s possible I did not properly account for how much being so isolated this year affected my mental health
Simone: Correct, you did not
Simone: But I’m REALLY glad you feel this way now
Simone: Have you guys talked yet about what happens after the election? Also is election day next week or the week after, I forget
Anya: Next week, which is crazy
Anya: We haven’t talked about what happens after, but I’m also like, not even that anxious about it?
Simone: The word “that” doing a lot of work in that sentence
Anya: Ha
Anya: I don’t know. It’s hard to imagine being anywhere but here, which is so weird, I’ve only been on the island three months
Simone: Sierra is thrilled to have you
Anya:
Anya: She’s the absolute best
Anya: Omg wait I didn’t tell you, Sierra’s friend Bobbie is SO MAD about me and Gabe
Anya: She has such a big crush on him, she’s furious he doesn’t flirt with her anymore
Simone: Gabe? Not flirt with a human being?
Anya: Fair, he doesn’t flirt with her as MUCH
Simone: Lol
Simone: And you’re okay with that part? Him being, idk, how he is?
Anya: Yeah, totally
Anya: I mean obviously this is all extremely new, so who knows what could change
Anya: But he never gives me any reason to doubt him
Anya: It’s like, for the last ten years, all Gabe and I ever had were questions
Anya: And now we’re finally at the part where we tell each other the answers
