….What is it you’re going over to do with that guy you’re talking to, Rhea..? I know that’s not the Switzerland guy because I’ve seen Ryder around and that would make no sense… w-what… are you going to do with your feelings about this other guy?

Ezra... Ryder is just a friend, he is not the guy I was talking about. Ry will just cook me dinner and listen me whine for a couple of hours. We are not even remotely interested on each other. And I won't do anything. There is nothing I can do. I will just hope that time will turn it from romantic to fraternal...

You… have feelings for someone else…. someone I… don’t even know….

I do. I tried to hide and lied along the way to myself, but I can't lie to you.

Oh, sounds like we may need some wine too? I’ll put a bottle in the freezer, to chill. I’ll pick you up, in about ten to fifteen minutes?

Jesus, Ryder, this way you will seduce me. All these promises. Alright. Enough to put some decent clothes.

Yes… a real date… just you and me and romance, and me trying to make up for the absence…

Tabula rasa? I clean and fresh starter for us? We could use one I think.

Yes, I am. Hm, How about I pick you up and we run to the grocery store and then I teach you how to make chicken alfredo? We’ll eat good food and talk about boys and whatever else. yeah?

Sounds good! I need to learn how to be more useful in the kitchen. And boy. One left... But sure, we can find many subjects. You never told me about the showcase!

Sort of? Aw, what would you like to eat?

Well, I wouldn't say you owe me, but I would love that. You said you were good at Italian? Am I right?

I do owe you a home cooked meal, don’t I?

Sort of. That could be handy this week. It has been a rough week.

Where is my best friend?!

I am not your best friend, but I could give you cuddles?
