Happy Thanksgiving, Kurt!

(9:45)
Happy Thanksgiving, Blaine!

(10:17)
Hi.

(10:19)
Hi.

(10:20)
I guess I owe you an apology.

(10:22)
Before you say something else, can I go first?

(10:22)
Yeah, sure.

(10:29)
I've had some time to think about this and I'd like to state once and for all that you don't have to be worried about the things you share with me, even if it's something that's troubling you in your life. Especially then. You don't have to tell me anything, but you can. We may not know each other very well, but I like you and I like this weird pen pal (text pal?) thing that we've got going on. Maybe because we don't really know each other, we can talk about anything.
(10:31)
And you need to stop apologizing. Whatever it was, I'm sure you had a good reason and I tend to snap at people whenever I'm stressed, so I get it.
(10:33)
I could just delete your number if I wanted to, but I don't.

(10:36)
That's almost bordering on "sappy".

(10:38)
It wasn't that sappy! But yes okay, fine, be that way. Ruin my moment of honesty.

(10:40)
I've had this whole speech prepared...

(10:41)
You could still give me that speech! I like a good speech.

(10:43)
No, now I just feel like a fool...

(10:44)
You understand what I was trying to say there though, right?

(10:46)
Yes.
(10:48)
Kurt?

(10:48)
Yes?

(10:50)
I don't want to delete your number, either.

(10:51)
Sappy!

(10:53)
You started it!

(10:55)
So how was your day?
(10:55)
Are you in NY? Or does your family live somewhere else?

(10:59)
I'm in NY.

(11:01)
You're actually from New York?

(11:02)
No I'm from Ohio.

(11:02)
That's freaky...

(11:04)
What's freaky about Ohio? I always thought of it as a wasteland.

(11:05)
I'm from Ohio. That's what's freaky!

(11:05)
Wow!
(11:06)
No... Really?

(11:07)
Yes, why would I lie about being from Ohio? Who does that?

(11:10)
Nobody.
(11:11)
Wow. So you know what I'm talking about!

(11:14)
Unfortunately. But we both escaped, right?

(11:15)
We did, yeah.

This is a Central Park text.

(11:10)
My favorite.
(11:12)
Where is your question, though?

(11:12)
No question today. We're just enjoying this fine Sunday morning! Snow! First snow of the year!

(11:13)
We?

(11:16)
Bradshaw and I.

(11:20)
Okay...
(11:21)
Who's Bradshaw?

(11:23)
Wait a second.
