You’re probably asleep, but I just realized something funny
Garrett
Not asleep
Oh. That was fast.
Rory
You know how you always knew when I was ovulating?
He doesn’t reply to that.
Shit.
Rory
The punchline is that I realized in the shower that the combination of a bad day at work + unexpectedly persistent thoughts about you probably has a hormonal trigger
Never mind, it was funnier in my head
Dots appear. Disappear. And then after a long, agonizing pause, a message pops onto the screen.
Garrett
You saying you’re horny, Roar?
Rory
Sorry, I know that’s not okay
I’m just lonely, I want to add, but I can’t tell him that. Him being my entire social life is part of why we broke up.
Garrett
Get yourself off and you’ll fall asleep in no time
I stare at the words, hating how well he knows me.
Rory
I know
Garrett
Did you try?
Is there any way to answer that without crossing a line?
Rory
Yeah, in the shower
Garrett
With the shower head?
That doesn’t work for you
