"What's crackin' Lassie?"
*Sniffles*
"Blaire?? Oh god what's wrong? Talk to me."
"I c-can't believe they killed him!"
"What? Killed who?"
"Sam!"
"Again, what?"
"The d-d-dog in I am Legend."
"Blaire...did you seriously just call me crying about a fictional dog death from over 10 years ago?"
"Um, well, maybe..."
"Do you realize how much of a panic I was just in? Christ, I almost had the SWAT team on route."
"Jake, I know we haven't been friends for that long, but if you have the SWAT Team ready at a moment's notice I think there may be some things you haven't told me."
"Now is not the time for jokes Lassie!"
"I don't knowww, seemed like a pretty appropriate time to me."
"Whatever. What are you doing watching that movie alone anyway?"
"Kimmy has an indoor soccer game tonight. My family went to watch."
"So you're alone?"
"Yup. Just me, the tv, and my trusty IV drip."
"Wellllll, maybe I can come over."
"Oh, Jake, that's really nice. But you don't have to..."
"No, no, I want to."
"Oh! Um okay! Then you c-can come whenever."
"Lassie?"
"Yes?"
"Are you blushing again?"
"...Shut up Jake."
"Haha! Knew it. See you soon."
