Me: Logan wants us to go out with him and Izzy Friday night.
Violet: And what did you say?

Violet: Lol. I mean that could be fun. But we don’t have to.
Me: Just told him yes. They want to go to The Crescent Moon. Says they have live music on Fridays.

Me: I did. Until I had to carry your ass down a ladder.

Me: I’ll pick you up at 7 on Friday.
Violet: Ok Mountain Man.
Me: And we’re back to that.
