"You wanna thank me now or should I be expecting a fruit basket at my front door in the coming week?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I just solved all your problems, Kat. Come on, keep up."
"Would you like to explain why I'm sending you a fruit basket or...?"
"You and me, August road trip."
"Road trip to where?"
"Phoebe and Nolan didn't buy their return ticket, right? So I'm thinking the four of us drive from New York back to Cali in August. You get to see your brother, I get to see my brother, and we get to spend the summer together. We can get a rental and you can drive it back to school. It's a problem-solving money saver, Kat. So once again, you wanna thank me now?"
"Huh. How did a cross-country road trip not occur to me?"
"Because. I'm awesome."
"I think my mom WOULD feel better if I brought Nolan home instead of Phoebe. She's practically hyperventilating already. Don't tell Pheebs."
"Noted. But yes. This totally works. Everyone's happy."
"It WOULD get my dad off my back about coming home... What the hell. Let's do it."
"Cross country road trip!"
"Hell yeah."
"I gotta say, when I found your bottle in the ocean, I never expected it would end up like this."
"And to think, if my angsty thirteen year old self didn't toss it in, none of this would have happened."
"Thanks thirteen year old Kat."
"You're very welcome."
"I love you."
"Right back at ya."
"Be still my beating heart."
"I love you too."
