I apologize for my texts last night 🙏
I'm still hungover 😭
I didn't know what I was typing. Sorry. I see I called you too. Sorry about that.
You were really drunk.
I know. Well I don't remember much, but sorry about that.
It's ok.
You're not mad?
No.
☺️Yay
What are you up to?
Writing.
Oooooh, how's that going?
Good.
Hmm. You really don't wanna talk about it?
No.
Well, okay.
Did you enjoy the food I left at your door?
Yes.
Next time I'll bring it to you fresh. It's better that way.
You don't have to.
I want to. First you helped with Winston, and I guess I owe you for being such a loud and annoying neighbor.
It's fine. Did you patch the fence?
Uh...no. I'll do that when I'm not completely hungover.
Okay.
So...did I say anything weird last night?
Connor?
Oh, I did—didn't I? 😔 Me and my stupid mouth.
What did I say now?
It was mostly gibberish. You fell asleep during the call.
That's it? Usually I ramble worse when I'm drunk.
You talked about your friends and how lonely you were that they left.
Oh, okay.
Wait. Did I mention my ex?
I say weird things a lot when I'm drunk and if I mentioned him then I apologize.
No. You didn't.
I didn't? Thank god.
Was he bad?
No.
Oh.
It's complicated. I try not to share what happened between us, but my stupid mouth has no filter when I'm drunk.
Ah, I see.
Sorry, I just don't like talking about him.
