Sebastian.Sebastian:
Eden.Eden:
Just checking.Sebastian:
On?Eden:
Your well-being.Sebastian:
You're such a softie.Sebastian:
I'm okay. Are you?Eden:
Fine. How was your date?Sebastian:
I mean, not the greatest.Eden:
Oh?Sebastian:
Turns out Sam was pretty allergic to Lilies.Eden:
Oh.Sebastian:
Don't worry about it. You weren't to know.Eden:
Is she okay?Sebastian:
Oh yeah, she's fine. She just sneezed. A lot. And her eyes were all teary and red.Eden:
I feel really bad.Sebastian:
Seriously don't. I'm considering it a life lesson.Eden:
You are?Sebastian:
Clearly I need to start actually being somewhat interested in my dates so I don't put them in situations where their eyes swell shut.Eden:
Yeah, I suppose that would be helpful.20:45
Sebastian:
So, are you allergic to anything?Eden:
Does it matter? We're never dating.Sebastian:
I know that, but I still want to meet you, and what if I buy you a Nutella milkshake and you blow up like a balloon?Eden:
I'm not allergic to nuts. Just cats. But I still love them.Sebastian:
Only you would love the thing that causes you pain.Eden:
You don't know me that well.Sebastian:
I feel like it's headed that way. I was kind of hoping you were going to message me when I was on my date so I could pretend I had a reason to get out of there.Eden:
Was it really that bad? I'm sorry I feel so guilty.Sebastian:
Seriously, Eden. Don't. I'm kind of glad it happened. Sam was not a nice person.Eden:
What do you mean?Sebastian:
She slapped the flowers away when I picked her up. Started screaming in the middle of the street. I shouldn't have even taken her out. She was only worse at the restaurant. A serious god complex, bitching at people that looked at us, shouting at the waiter because she didn't have cucumber in her water. It was horrific.Eden:
Shit.Sebastian:
The only thing that made it worthwhile was that she looked all puffy from the flowers.Sebastian:
They really were beautiful. I have every intention of coming to you for all my floral needs in the future.Eden:
Maybe just not for your first dates.Sebastian:
Yeah, that might be wise.Eden:
Do you go on second dates?Sebastian:
I don't think I've ever.Eden:
Doesn't it get lonely?Eden:
Sorry that's not my place to ask.Sebastian:
Do you?Eden:
Yeah.Sebastian:
What does it feel like? Being lonely.Eden:
I can't explain it. Kind of cold and empty. Like your heart is yearning for something but you don't know what.Sebastian:
You know what yours is yearning for. Why do you deny yourself companionship if that's what you really want?Eden:
Because my heart might forget what it feels like to be broken, but my head remembers that. Every day.Eden:
Have you ever been heartbroken, Sebastian.Sebastian:
Never.Eden:
I envy you.Sebastian:
Don't. At least you know you have a heart to break.Eden:
Are you okay? You don't seem like yourself.Sebastian:
I'm alright. This week has just been draining.Eden:
Alright. I'm sorry.Sebastian:
I need something to look forward to.21:32
Eden:
Wednesday.Sebastian:
What?Eden:
Look forward to Wednesday.Sebastian:
Why?Eden:
It's a surprise.Sebastian:
I love surprises.Eden:
Good. I'll speak to you soon.Sebastian:
I hope so.
