Eloise
I didn’t go.
I sit up a little straighter.
She didn’t go.
Gray
You didn’t?
Eloise
Nope.
Gray
Why not?
Eloise
I really wanted brownies.
I laugh out loud, then suppress it. Even though Scarlett’s on the other side of the apartment I don’t want her to hear me.
This feels like a secret conversation. Weird.
Eloise
And pajamas.
And a hair tie.
Do you know how annoying it is to wear your hair down all day?
I feel the corner of my mouth tug upward, and I adjust the pillow behind me, sitting more at attention. She texts the way she talks.
For her sake, I need to try not to text the way I talk.
Gray
Uh, no. I don’t.
Eloise
Well, it’s annoying.
There comes a point in the day when you just HAVE to get it off your neck.
At the mention of it, I picture her neck, remembering how it felt to let my hand linger there, her skin soft beneath my fingers.
Eloise
But also, it didn’t feel right to go out with Jimmy.
I stare at the words.
Gray
