lose my mind

Gray: Alright. I gotta check with Em first.

Is: Aw, I bet it’s lovely. I’ve never been to Europe. That makes sense. Aw, you’re right. Rainy movie days are fun and I’m sure Lulu makes them even more special!

Is: Who wants to workout on their birthday? Thanks, Griff. Not sure yet. Would you and Lulu like to join me for ice cream? Might go to the bar later tonight and see if I can get a drink or two for free from Skylar.

Griff: Maybe we can all do a trip one day. Take Lulu to see my family, and let you lot see London at least. Usually. She's not a big fan of thunder, so as long as it's not storming it's a blast.

Fine. Die an old maid.

And people say I’m the dramatic one.

Is: That sounds fun. Where’s your favorite spot in London besides the pub? That’s fair. Rain is definitely not my favorite type of weather. True. Lulu’s lucky you care so much.

Is: Oh, I know. And on the day after my birthday? What am I thinking?!

Griff: There's a park down the road from my parents place, it's my favorite. Spent a lot of time there growing up. I love it though, now that it's not a daily type thing. Rainy days watching movies with Lulu? Hard to beat that.

Is: That’s awesome! What’s the best thing to do in London? Yeah, so I’m not sure I could ever really get sick of it. Did you ever get sick of rain growing up in London? Psh. You worry too much.

Is: Great! Thank you! Are you ready to kick my butt?

Griff: Honestly? I miss just going to the pub and watching a game with my mates the most. Hell yeah. I was used to it, but I hated constantly dealing with it. Father duties do that to you.

Is: Aw, do you have any plans to go back this summer? Um, not really. I love swimming in the ocean, going on boat rides, and laying out on the beach. Don’t be a scaredy cat, Griff.

Is: Also, is there any way that I can switch from one hour to two for my session with you tomorrow?

Griff: If I can, yeah. I'm going to try to squeeze a trip in a go see the family. I can't blame you, I love all of those things too. Some of my favorite things about living here. Psh. Easy for you to say.

Ha, let’s just say I’m living comfortably. I did work hard to get where I am though, so I don’t mind saying that! A personal trainer, huh? Oh yeah, I can see it. All the ladies coming to the gym, insisting they’re there for the exercise when in reality they probably just want your number.

But are you going to be my sugar daddy? I didn’t see an answer to that part. Yeah! It’s good money, and it keeps me in shape so I have zero complaints on that. The ladies, and the men, it’s honestly the perfect job for meeting people. Bartenders probably have it even better.

How many cups of coffee do you drink in a day? I’m know health expert but I think living on coffee and protein shakes isn’t very good for you!

Depends on the day and my schedule, and how early my daughter wakes up. Some days I have three before I even leave the house, so I’d say a lot of coffee on the regular. I eat plenty of healthy food too, plus a lot of mac and cheese.

Is: Riiiight, because of all the rain in London. I was spoiled the year we lived in Brazil and of course once we moved to Florida. Lots of beach time. There's no reason for you to be scared, Griff. I'm a kindergarten teacher. I'm harmless. ;)

Mhm. Whatever you say, Griff.

Em. I don’t wanna be set up with anyone, okay?

Is: I love it too! The beach is definitely one of my happy places. Aw, yeah, that'll be so fun. An evil little duo? I like it. Hm, I think you should be both scared and proud.

What do you mean you don’t have time for romance?

What’s got you so busy, Griff? 

Being a single father, and summer brings in double the clients. Just no time for anything.

Is: I’m glad too! It was a lot of fun. Hey, us girls have got to stick together! You poor baby. I’m sure you’ll be okay. :P Just take another shower.
