Jared: I haven't kept count, sorry. Some call me a trooper for my efforts. I see it more like I picked the short stick here. Why are you thinking there's going to be a next time?

Abby: Can't count past your fingers? Just a trooper? You could surround yourself with people with better vocabulary. You're special. I don't really want the happy meal, so I'm not too worried about whether or not there will be.

Jared: That's it, you caught me. I'm fine with my one friend thanks I might end up surrounding myself with people like you. Thanks. It's what you deserve.

Abby: How often have you said it? And yet somehow, some way, you're willing yourself to stay alive. I could have chosen any number of people and I chose you, feel special. Maybe next time for the happy meal.

Jared: I haven't kept count, sorry. Some call me a trooper for my efforts. I see it more like I picked the short stick here. Why are you thinking there's going to be a next time?

Abby: Are you talking about just yourself or the masses? Must be suuuuper slow. Of course I am. Abreo.

Jared: Both. Crazy slow, never been this slow before. You don't have anyone else to feed you? That's a pretty nice place are you sure you just don't want a happy meal?

Text: Willow & Jared

Willow: Oh no. And here I thought you did this to yourself with the fitted sheet unmaking the bed. Punching yourself in the face right before bed is even worse.

Jared: All I wanted to do was sleep and I got this now.

Text: Lana & Jared

Lana: I'm not sure how great I'll be with kids that age. I've really only got experience with super young kids, but I feel like I can't say no.

Lana: How about you don't have to pay me, you just owe me a meal?

Jared: They're not rowdy or uncooperative it's just taking their attention from their phones for a couple of hours. You really can't say no.

Jared: The museum has a cafe or do you want a full meal.

Text: Willow & Jared

Willow: How is it possible for the sheets to be so stuck that you have to pull hard enough to reach punching force though?

Jared: I tucked it into well and I was trying to pull it to cover myself and it wouldn't budge

Text: Lana & Jared

Lana: That depends entirely on where the field trip is and what the age of the kids are.

Lana: But that's such a jerk move to back out of chaperoning last minute like that.

Jared: The museum of science and industry in Chicago. Sophomores and juniors.

Jared: You're telling me and she told me about it through email

Jared: More than five at least. I have nothing better to do, it's a slow week.

Abby: Maybe behind my back. How slow is it? Slow enough to take a pain in the ass to dinner?

Jared: maybe a couple more under their breath too. Well I'm still talking to you aren't i? You're just trying to get a dinner out me. Where do you want to go?

Text: Willow & Jared

Jared: You know what's embarrassing?

Jared: Pulling the stuck sheets off the bed and punching yourself in the face.

Text: Lana & Jared

Jared: How much do I have to pay you to chaperone a field trip with me?

Jared: One of the parents backed out and I can't handle all of them in a non-classroom setting.

Abby: How many do you think it's been? Well then why are you talking to me, hm?

Jared: More than five at least. I have nothing better to do, it's a slow week.

Lana paused at the idea and frowned. “I get halfway through repainting this trim and now you tell me to hire someone else? You couldn’t have suggested it before I started looking like a clown?” She wiped the paint covered hand on a rag tucked into her jeans.

“Look at it this way, you’ll get half off now.” He answered back lifting the corner of his shirt to wipe the paint off her face that she missed. “How about a break?”

“No, I’m telling you not to make stupid bets. There is a difference. I’ll tell you what– I’ll buy you a drink if that helps you and your wallet feel better.”

“I thought it’d be a safe bet, sue me. You can buy me two and it’ll barely make a dent.”
