"Hi Jake."
"Blaire! Oh my god, hi!"
"Please explain the starving comment."
"Well I was hungry for your response. Eventually I started starving."

"Oh is that so?"
"Absolutely, but now you've answered. You've saved me!"
"Well I couldn't have you starving now could I?"
"I knew you loved me best friend."
"Tsk tsk Jakey, love is a strong word."
"You're right, and I know I'm using it correctly here."
"Again, I'm rolling my eyes at you."
"I'll take it."
"...Hey Jake?"

"Ya know what Harper talked to you about?"
"Yeah?"
"...I'm ready to talk about it."
"Okay. Like, right now on the phone?"
