Eden: I am not.
Lou: When I met you, my first day on the boat, I was so freaking intimidated by you.
Eden: I don’t believe that.
Lou: It’s true. At first, I couldn’t believe it was you. I mean, you were so… normal. And gorgeous. And talented and confident and… Isaiah and Jude look at you as if you’re a goddess. I was such an ass to you because I couldn’t handle the awesomeness. I felt so jealous and inferior… Singers are deeply insecure people, Eden. You have no idea how much.
Eden: NOW it’s weird.
Eden: Also, nobody is looking at me the way you said. Isaiah ignores me unless he has to work with me, and Jude… He’s so sweet, but I’m sure he pities me. Everyone does.
Lou: I don’t. You’re my hero. My inspiration. Literally.
Lou: Weird?
Eden: Weird.
Lou: …
Eden: Want to come to my room so we can continue to be weird face to face? Also, to distract me from writing?
Lou: I mean, I’m bored out of my mind but you… Aren’t you a writer? Why do you need to be distracted from writing?
Eden: Because I’m writing a message to my… to someone, and I really, really shouldn’t be. It’s a long story.
Lou: I am going to need to hear it.
Eden: Well, you can’t hear it from over there. Want to come over?
Lou: I do! But wait, I’m in my pjs.
Eden: Me too. No need to change out of them.
Eden: Actually, wait, I have a better idea. Do you want to go down to the kitchen?
Lou: I could literally murder an entire rotisserie chicken right now.
Eden: Same. But I think the chefs might be on a break, so I thought I’d make us my famous cupcakes.
Lou: Famous, you say?
Eden: They have been tasted by more than three people, I’ll have you know. My two sisters and my dad.
Lou: Sold.
Eden: Putting on my shoes and grabbing Pooh. By the way, he’s been sending you licks and saliva this whole time. I’m going to be needing a new phone soon.
Lou: Putting on my shoes too.
Lou: Hey, Eden?
Eden: Yeah.
Lou: What’s happening right now? Us texting? You forgiving me? Baking cupcakes together? Wearing PJs together?
Lou: Is this real.
Eden: Sure is.
