Chapter Twenty-six

After Five Months in France

A Saturday

Teagan:Where’s your video? I can only hear you.

Silas:Just a bad connection. What’s wrong?

Teagan:How do you know something is wrong?

Silas:I hear it in your voice.

Teagan:I loved this trip but I want to be back near you. I’m tired of waiting and growing and becoming our own people. We did that, but now I want to be with my person.

Silas:I know. Me, too. Soon, though. Only another month.

Teagan:I wore out my vibrator. I didn’t budget for replacing it.

Silas:Do you need to buy some grapefruits so you can reacquaint yourself with driving a manual transmission?

Teagan:(Laughing) No, I bought a new one. I’ll just go without food for a couple weeks. Priorities.

Silas:Your vibrator costs what you’d theoretically spend on food for a few weeks?

Teagan:Clearly, you’re not spending enough time searching for high-end toys.

Silas:I guess not. You are still actually eating food, right?

Teagan:Of course. I’m waiting for dinner to get delivered. Hey, you want to know something weird?

Silas:Of course. Is it related to high-end toys?

Teagan:No. I actually miss Julianna’s chocolates. Can you believe it?

Silas:They’re good! Should I send you some?

Teagan:Yes! A whole box of my favorites, please.

Silas:I’ll get on that. Um, do you want to know what I found out about the list?

Teagan:Yes! You found a new clue?

Silas:Okay, so... don’t be mad at me.

Teagan:That makes me assume I’m going to be furious.

Silas:I’ve known who wrote the list for a while.

Teagan:How long is a while?

Silas:...

Teagan:You’ve very lucky there’s an ocean between us. How long?

Silas:Um... I found out the night you left.

Teagan:You’ve known for five months!?
