[TXT] did the wife tell you? or did you see the posters?  which she designed, such talent

[TXT] what what? you want to help with my research? I am forever obliged to you, Sofia

[TXT] if you’d like to bring your heart by as well, I can take a look at it.  I’ve collected some but other people want to keep theirs. I’ve taken photos of them and measurements

[TXT] it’s an extraordinary but awful situation, Prof.  The people these hearts once belonged to…ay dios mio

[TXT]  Mel told me before I passed one. Put it in the Black Tap window just for me, ah? Taunting me now?

[TXT]  Yes! Of course! You’re stuck with me now, Cardero.

[TXT] Sure. Tell me when. Can I see what you’ve got so far?

@ianncardero: [TXT] I met your Juliet, Prof [TXT] Has she gushed to you yet? [TXT] She loves me, she thinks I'm fantastic.

[TXT] Oh, Iann. She is not mine and I don’t think she’d like it all too much if she heard....or rather saw you reference her that way.  

[TXT] She hasn’t but she is not exactly the gushing type.

[TXT] hey hey. I have lots of time for you, Prof.

[TXT] what do you need?

[TXT] Well..with not being able to go into work and all

[TXT] I’ve been doing a lot of thinking

[TXT]  Do you know anything about this group that isn’t just rumor floating around? I don’t know. I have a feeling you would be the man to know things like this. And ....

Iann: I encountered Aden at the Carnival

Sofia: I think she had a nice time. I did.

Iann: Sofia

Iann: we need to talk

[Iann almost typed out ‘I’m so sorry’, but he felt an angry rush of despair and indignation. What did he have to be sorry about? It was the fucking demon, not him. It wasn’t him.

When he texted again, his hands trembled slightly.]

Iann: we can meet or stick to text. up to you, Prof

Sofia: We do. This is good for now.

[Sofia felt guilty for the feelings that flooded her system with the response. As much as she wanted to see Iann in the flesh, she couldn't be sure how she would react. So, instead of risking humiliation, she hid. Old habits died hard. It was cliche but definitely true.]

Sofia: This sounds so stupid. But are you alright? ...you hit that tree pretty hard.

Iann: hola Professor Floros

Iann: this is Iann Cardero

Iann: the guy looking for potion appraisals but

Iann: you brushed your teeth yet?

[The phone buzzing repeatedly caught her off guard and annoyed her to no end when she realized it was just going to keep going. Luckily she was already awake. 'Ever heard of a complete, cohesive thought?' she was tempted to write back. Iann was a new acquaintance so she didn't feel she had that liberty.]
