mikey
Don't you think this is a little fast?

tayla
and remember how u said u would try not to move on too fast?

ariana gran-dé
y'all are fussing over one dinner?

bri
Does Harry know what happened with you and Tom?

scott
If Dalton didn't know
Fat chance Harry knows

ariana gran-dé
GUYS
i agreed to ONE date
not to handing myself away for marriage

tayla
that one date can lead to a whole lot, bb

ariana gran-dé
or it could lead to nothing???

scott
I mean, you obviously know what's best for you
But just be sure your heart is ready for this

ariana gran-dé
sigh...

dalton
Hey, do you mind if I send you my notes on clips 45 and 46?
I had some suggestions but it's always going to be your call

ari
sure! i'll take a look after i come back

dalton
You're going somewhere?

ari
mhm. dinner with harry
he... asked me out on a date

dalton
Oh wow!
I didn't think he had feelings for you, since y'all are such good friends

ari
haha... ya
i didn't think so either

dalton
Forgive me for prying
Which I feel like I do all the time 😅
But... do you feel ready giving out your heart again so soon?

ari
sigh...
not u too

dalton
Huh?

ari
i can take care of myself and i know what's best for me
i only agreed to one dinner date and everyone is thinking i signed a marriage certificate
jesus...

dalton
Look, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to question your judgement
I just... worry about you
And it's because I care
I promise that's why

ari
thanks for the concern but i'm fine
i don't need everybody to hawkeye me every chance they're given

dalton
Well... alright
Again, I'm sorry
