What a message to wake up to.
ME: Of all the things you could miss about me? A bit, yeah.
WILLIAM: Huh. I won’t bother then.
ME: Bit late for that.
WILLIAM: I suppose. I didn’t miss you kicking me, though.
ME: That’s because you’re a bed hogger. I have to kick you to make you get back on your own side.
WILLIAM: I think you’ll find that you’re the bed hogger. You think you’re kicking me off your side, but you’re just pushing me closer to the edge.
ME: Lies.
It probably wasn’t that much of a lie, to be honest. We woke up more than once with me in the middle of the bed and him perilously close to the edge.
That was his fault for hugging me while we slept.
That was my story, and I was sticking to it.
WILLIAM: How did you sleep?
ME: I slept. You?
WILLIAM: Terrible. I took a nap when I got back from the airport and it was a very bad decision.
ME: I bet you didn’t set an alarm.
WILLIAM: Nope. Three hours later…
ME: You’re an idiot.
WILLIAM: You’re not wrong. What are you doing today?
ME: Laundry, probably. I think I need a day of doing nothing, honestly, and Amber has a work meeting in an hour so I have some peace. You?
WILLIAM: Aside from trying to keep your grandmother and the bird out of trouble, not a lot. I kind of wished I’d gotten on a plane with you yesterday.
I kind of wished he had, too.
ME: My grandmother and the bird?
WILLIAM: They’re best friends. It’s a bit scary.
ME: Yet somehow, it makes perfect sense.
WILLIAM: She keeps threatening to smuggle Chewy to her house.
ME: If she does that, I will personally take the bird back to your grandmother.
WILLIAM: Don’t worry. I don’t think she’d get him on the plane. Can you imagine him there?
ME: That would put my flight yesterday to shame. Ugh. What a nightmare.
ME: I need to get up.
I put my phone down, stretched, and got up out of bed with a groan. I needed to get up, but I didn’t want to. However, I knew myself well enough that if I didn’t get my dirty laundry from the trip into the washing machine first thing this morning, then I’d never do it.
