“Will do,” he said.
“Bye, Conor.”
“Goodnight, Yvonne.”
I left him then, feeling his eyes on me all the way back to my office.
4.
Yvonne
Conor: Any luck finding that bottle of champagne?
Yvonne: Not yet, but don’t worry. I’m a woman on a mission. I won’t let you down!
Conor: I have every faith in you :-)
Yvonne: Hi Conor. Sorry to bother you but is Ev at your place by any chance? I’ve been trying to get a hold of her and her phone is off.
Conor: She’s not here but Dylan’s MIA also. I suspect they’re off somewhere canoodling.
Yvonne: Canoodling? I didn’t think people still used that word.
Conor: It’s commonly used. Mainly by grandmothers commenting on the activities of the young folk.
Yvonne: Ah, well, thank you for educating me. Ev just walked in the door looking flushed and claiming her battery died so I think you might be onto something with your canoodling theory.
Conor: Another mystery solved by the talented Det. Abrahams. Be sure to recommend my services to all your friends.
Yvonne: Haha, sure I’ll do that.
Conor: How’s your week been?
Yvonne: Busy, just the way I like it. You?
Conor: Busy, too. I’ve got to head out to California for a few days to check in at the factory.
Yvonne: Oh, is that where the perfume is made?
Conor: Yes, I spend a few days there every couple weeks to make sure everything’s running smoothly.
Yvonne: Sounds very important. I’m jealous that you might get some sun. It’s been so cold and dreary here.
Conor: Come with me then. I like to make sure all my friends are getting enough vitamin D.
Yvonne: Oh, don’t tempt me. I would be all over that but I have to work :-/
Conor: Maybe next time!
Yvonne: Hey. Are you experiencing this blackout too?
Conor: Yes. And why are you texting me? You should be conserving your phone battery.
Yvonne: What can I say? I like to live dangerously. Also, I have a spare battery :-P
Conor: Quit sticking your tongue out at me. I’ll get aroused and there’s no internet to look at porn.
Yvonne: That’s the problem with you young men. You don’t invest in magazines. Hard copies always come in handy during times like these.
