Lodestar:I don’t WANT to leave.
Conor:Well, that’s good.
Lodestar:Just good?
Conor:Better than good.
Lodestar:You don’t have to work in there…
Conor:Figured you might need some space.
Lodestar:Maybe if you weren’t you.
Conor:I am me.
Lodestar:I know. That’s my point.
Conor:Do I have special privileges?
Lodestar:I believe you do.
Lodestar:Conor?
Conor:Yeah. I’m coming. Just gotta finish this up.
Lodestar:I like that song.
Conor:I’m glad.
Lodestar:But, I think it’s wrong.
Conor:Why?
Lodestar:I should have sent that to you. I’m the mess. Not you.

Lodestar:It doesn’t…
Conor:Gimme two mins and I’ll be right in.
Lodestar:<3
Conor:xo

“Yeah, and that’s it. That’s what I found too. No loans, no credit card debts. Not even a car was registered in his name. Just the house and money that came in from a ‘trust fund.’”
