Romeo
Tell me something good
Juliet
I’m about to do laundry so it’s full on despair over here
Romeo
Didn’t you just do laundry?
Juliet
Oh right, I forgot you don’t know about laundry. You have to do it more than once a year.
I staredat Romeo’s responding dots, chewing my lip as I waited for his text to come through. Had my message been too rude?
Romeo
Brat. Just buy more clothes instead of doing laundry. Perfect solution
I grinned. No one had ever called me a brat, and maybe I liked it when Romeo said it.
Juliet
Wow, what brilliance
Romeo
I know

Juliet
Romeo.
Romeo
Juliet.
Juliet
You can’t do this
Romeo
Do what?
Juliet
Don’t even try to be coy. It’s not cute.
Romeo
I’m always cute
And so are you.
