Jonathan had been a polite host and mostly not checked his phone for messages from Connor until Lily left. But now, curled on the couch in his black and white gingham pajamas and red kimono, all coordinated but with no one to see him, he yearned for more than just messages.

Connor

Mom says she doesn’t want to clear out the office to fit the air bed, so oops, you’ll have to share with me

Unless you prefer bunking with Jess?

Connor had been waiting fifteen minutes for a reply without texting six more times, which meant he deserved a reward, Jonathan-style.

Jonathan

Tell me more about your sister

Connor

WAHT

She’s a stinky girl

Think the neighbor in Calvin and Hobbes that’s all

Wait you’re joking

Jonathan

I am

Four days until we see each other feels like a long time

Connor

I’m going to call you with video in a half hour after I shower. Letting you know.

In case you want to be reading.

Ready

In bed with lube kind of ready

Jonathan

You can’t call from the shower?

Connor

Dude it’s a regular house. I share a bath with Jess

Jonathan

Am I going to have more than one McMillan taking my skin care products?

Answer me
