Matt: Morning, beautiful.
Anah: Hello.
Matt: Uh, oh… that doesn’t sound so good.
Anah: That depends…
Matt: On?
Anah: Do I get a clue today?
Matt: Nope.
Anah: In that case, you leave me no other choice.
Matt: No other choice?
Anah: You are depriving me of clues as to your identity.
Matt: Why are you talking like that?
Anah: To show you that I mean business.
Matt: This is amusing.
Anah: Anyway…
Anah: Until you capitulate and give me a clue, I shall withhold something equally vital to you.
Matt: I’m gonna be honest with you- you lost me at ‘capitulate.’
Anah: Basically- until you give me a frickin’ clue, I won’t speak to you.
Matt: Is that so?
Anah: Yes. That is so.
Matt: You know you won’t last the day right?
Anah: Oh, won’t I?
Matt: Please… you’re way too impatient, Babe.
Anah: Not any more. Waiting for you to give up who you are has taught me to be very patient.
Matt: I bet you that you’ll be texting me by tomorrow morning.
Anah: As if.
Anah: Fine… let’s make a bet.
Matt: Ok- if you cave, then I get a week off from giving you clues.
Anah: And if you cave?
Matt: Well, that’s never gonna happen.
Anah: *eye tick* Liar.
Anah: If you cave, then you’ve got to give me a week’s worth of clues in one.
Matt: Deal.
Matt: But just for you to know, I am so winning this bet.
Matt: Anah?
Matt: You there?
Matt: Oh, we’re starting now?
Matt: Fine… but just for you to know-
Matt: I love you, Penguin.
Anah: I love you too.
Anah: Now it’s game on… p.s. You are going down.
Matt: Fighting talk… so sexy on a girl.
Anah: I thought you said never to call a girl sexy.
Matt: And I thought you said ‘game on.’
Anah: Ok… now we’re starting.
Matt: I can’t wait for this!
Anah: You just lost, sucker!
Matt: What?! NO!
Matt: Right… prepare to capitulate.
