Lila Sellers

That really means a lot, Lila. Thank you. Especially after everything and… everything that’s happened around here the past couple of weeks. It might do us some good to come together as a town. 

Just speaking the truth. If there was ever someone worth having in my corner, it’d be you. Noah’s doing great and Nelly… I’m not super great at the whole aunt thing yet, but she’s amazing. Baby Shark is a ridiculously catchy song when you think about it.

Getting myself into trouble? I wouldn’t dream of it. For once, the fire house has been quiet and I’m trying to enjoy that while it lasts, because it’s never a dull day. And I’m sure trouble knows the best thing for it to do is to stay away from you, Lila. There’s probably never been trouble you didn’t know how to properly deal with. 

When you’re left to police yourselves… this is what happens. But… that whole method might actually be pretty effective. Physical violence is a decent deterrent. 

It’s sad that that’s about all we can do, Lila. We can’t count on anyone else to do that for us.

[ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ Well. I’m fucking in this, aren’t I? If there’s no going back then I’m sure as hell not just going to wade in the water for the rest of my time [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ Thank you Lila

[ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ oh he was a freak and exactly the kind of self proclaimed alpha male business type you’d expect [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ I thought I was going to vibrate out of my skin at first. however [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ maybe a lot of that was just part of it being my first time with that sort of thing? and with that kind of money… [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ tell him whatever he needs to hear to consider it. otherwise I’ll see him here at the end of the week

[ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ yes. we do. [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ did you count the money? [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ if he ever wants to do that again [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ tell him my answer is yes

[ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ oh I’m very aware. they just don’t normally come over here straight out of a high profile case is all. not that he’s gonna bring attention to us. I’m sure the whole city is kindly averting their gaze as we take him off their hands. [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ this is probably the one place he won’t cause trouble. at least for now. [ sms: boss lady 👋 ] ↦ did you get the money I left in your office from last night?

We’ll see how long it lasts this time. Longest I’ve ever gone is 6 months. 

You’ve ever been in bed with a girl who gives you a look and you have no choice but to put it away? Sometimes you have to compromise. 

I already do therapy. It’s called sex and a glass of bourbon before bed. 

Maybe we should try therapy…

The patches and the sugar substitute… Tried it once a few years ago and gained ten pounds on stress eating alone.
