it’s not my face I’m worried about
VIOLET
?
I groaned, hoping she’d get the point. “Come on, Vi. Read between the lines.”
A few seconds later, another text flew in.
VIOLET
oh. ohhhhhhh
pics or it didn’t happen :p
COLTON
wait, are you telling me you want pics of my not-face?
VIOLET
at some point in our lives it was my favorite not-face
COLTON
you’re going to give my not-face a complex
I mean I guess I can go to the bathroom and take one?
VIOLET
not right now, ding dong! I’m at work
COLTON
yeah my ding dong is actually the problem
and I’m at work too!
you think I like having this happen?
VIOLET
you don’t have to keep reading. It can be a lot
COLTON
not happening. Have to see this through
…and it’s pretty hot
VIOLET
right?
well enjoy the memories of it when you’re with your New Jersey girl
