Heidi Kovens

We wouldn’t want life to be boring, now would we? Though it might be a little bit safer. We wouldn’t have those clowns around threatening us. Huh. I guess we’ve got it all worked out then, don’t we?

Safe is boring, but no clowns is by far the best possible outcome. It's a catch 22, but I think I'd take safe any day. I mean, we could just make things interesting in other, less life endangering ways. I'd say we have everything figured out as of now.

I don’t know, you’ll have to figure something out. Or you can just lie to them. You know, normal stuff. Well, I know I’m crazy, but I don’t know if that counts. We’re the good kind of crazy anyway. So it’s okay. Well, I’m glad I’ve got that down, at least. It’s nice to see you smile. I’m just lucky that I can make you do it so often.

Right, normal stuff. Good kind of crazy is the best thing to be. Otherwise life's just boring. I'm lucky that I have you around to get me to smile so often. It works out pretty well, I think.

Positive. He hasn’t been sick in weeks and if Hannah needs them, I can bring them over as soon as possible.

You're a life saver, Lucy. I'll pay you in Disney movies and pizza.

How do you know? I might be an alien. You might have just kissed an alien. Or you might just be crazy, I don’t know. Huh. I didn’t know it worked like that. But thank God. Yeah, I’m good at that, aren’t I? 

I hope I didn't just kiss an alien, how would I explain that to my psychoanalyst? Just kidding. I'm not crazy. At least, I don't think I am. Do crazy people know they're crazy? Maybe we're all crazy. Yeah, you really are. I mean, not that making me smile is incredibly hard, but you do it extremely often.

I don’t know what planet you come from, but on mine that’s considered kind of stupid. But hey. If you like it, that’s good enough for me. I’m nowhere close to a knight in shining armor. Don’t get your hopes up. I would trip over my own sword.

Pretty sure we're from the same planet, and if I think it's cute, it probably is. You don't need an actual sword to be a knight in shining armor! I mean, in medieval times, sure. But now you just gotta make me smile. Which you're good at.

But it’s stupid like…half of the time. Probably more than half of it. I do like that idea a lot more. Hey, if you wanted the fort in the next two, I would try to give it to you. But, sadly, I’m not a master pillow fort maker and it might take more than two minutes. It will definitely be a thing that happens.

I don't think it's stupid! It's kinda cute, actually. Aww, look at you, being all knight in shining armor-ey. It's fine, I have faith. 

I probably should, though. I talk a lot. Way too much, actually. Why haven’t you shut me up yet? Hmm, well I’m sure we could go build a pillow fort and make out in it. But that seems like so much work when I could just kiss you again right now.

Because I like what you say. Yeah, yeah, or we could kiss now and then again later with the pillows. I'm not saying I need the fort like, in the next five minutes. Just in the general future. It can be a thing that can happen.

Well, I hope it lived up to your expectations. Even though it wasn’t in a pillow fort. We can still do that, though. Make a pillow fort. And maybe make out in it. If you liked the first kiss. I should probably stop talking now.

No, no! You don't have to stop talking. I mean, it exceeded expectations. And I would absolutely love to make out with you in a pillow fort. Or anywhere, really. But I still want that pillow fort thing to happen.

Don’t act so surprised Heidi, there was a time, during my lapse of judgement phase, when I used to watch them with you, but that’s a memory I’d rather not have.

I thought you mainly just did that to make yourself feel more like a human. I didn't really even know it was possible for you to like things at all. Besides money, of course.

I wish someone else would do my homework!

You watch Disney movies? They don't like, hurt your soul? Oh wait, that's right, you don't have a soul.

Oh, I see. Henry still has some of these medicinal sucker things the doctor suggested I get him from awhile ago. He doesn’t need them anymore if you want them?

Oh...that actually would be really great! I think they were gonna give those to Hannah a little while ago but she got better before I picked up the prescription. Are you sure he doesn't need them?

Thank God what? Did I do something wrong before?

No, no, nothing wrong. I've just been wondering what it's like to kiss you for a while. 

I’m pretty sure I can manage that.

Thank god...

-Anyone interested sharing a cupcake?

I'm always interested in cupcakes.

So if I kissed you right now, would you be disappointed that it wasn’t in a pillow fort?

Only moderately. I'd get over it though. Eventually. If you kiss me enough times.
