Erik Varg:
 
 I am.
 
 Quinn Cooper:
 
 Your mom seemed to think it was because of me, but I didn’t even know you were planning to visit. Not that I needed to know. You’re definitely allowed to plan your own trips to see your family without telling the random girl you hooked up with once.
 
 Erik Varg:
 
 I’m coming to town for work.
 
 Quinn Cooper:
 
 Oh…
 
 So forget I said anything. Seriously.
 
 Erik Varg:
 
 And I planned for next week because I hoped you’d be off work. Chicago has a school vacation but I wasn’t sure about you guys.
 
 Quinn Cooper:
 
 It’s okay Erik, You don’t need to explain…
 
 I should have realized your mom was kidding.
 
 Or maybe being inappropriately hopeful.
 
 Or something.
 
 Erik Varg:
 
 And I hadn’t figured out how to tell you without coming off like a creep.
 
 Especially after you asked me to leave you alone. But then you started texting me and I thought maybe…
 
 Quinn Cooper:
 
 Maybe what, Erik?
 
 Erik Varg:
 
 Maybe you’d want to see me as much as I want to see you. Again.
 
 Quinn Cooper:
 
 How long are you going to be in town?
 
 Erik Varg:
 
 Fly out Wednesday night,
 
 Fly home Sunday night.
 
 Quinn Cooper:
 
 I’d like that.
