DAY ONE

(9:28AM)

Kai: this seems like insanely bad timing for you to go away

Kai: couldn't you have petitioned delia to change the date?

Valerie: unfortunately, mum doesn't plan the family holidays around her daughter's sex life

Kai: i was mostly talking about getting to spend time with you

Valerie: with clothes on?

Kai: it didn't seem polite to suggest otherwise, but if you insist, i won't complain

Kai: you shameless hussy


DAY TWO

(11:23PM)

Kai: how's Canberra?

Valerie: the city remains shit, but the company isn't bad

Valerie: except sophie. she's insufferable. can you legally kill a fifteen year old?

Kai: I think they call it murder no matter how old the kid is

Valerie: even if the kid is really annoying?

Kai: sadly, that doesn't factor into it legally

Kai: but you'd rock orange

Valerie: silver lining

Valerie: you sound like sydney

Kai: brb I'm going to go change everything about my personality

Valerie: couldn't have that. it's my second favourite thing about you

Kai: what's first?

Valerie: call me and i'll tell you. in detail.

Kai: shit okay

Valerie: if i WAS to kill her, would you help me bury the body?

Kai: no. i look shit in orange.

Valerie: and you said you'd do anything for me

Valerie: liar

Kai: what did she do?

Valerie: mum made me take her shopping

Valerie: she found a friend and just ditched me

Valerie: i spent two hours thinking she was kidnapped or some shit

Kai: where was she?

Valerie: next door. ice skating

Valerie: WITH MY MONEY

Kai: killing her might be out of the question, but you could probably get away with kicking her really hard

Valerie: if tonya harding can get away with it, so can i

Kai: that's the spirit
