"Hello?" Pt. 1

February 21st, 2016

"I'm like the walking dead."

"The TV shows, The Walking Dead?"

"You know that show?"

"You have Game of Thrones, I have The Walking Dead."

"Well, no, not like the TV show. I have no desire to eat anyone's entrails."

"Good to know."

"But I do feel like I'm about to die. I forgot just how intense Fashion Week can be. Paris is going to be ten times worse, too! Daniel, will you kill me, please?"

"Well, seeing as you said please."

"You're not funny."

"Neither are you."

"Hey! I am the funniest funny person you've ever know, Whitaker."

"I don't think you are."

"I hate you."

"I don't think you do."

"Why am I friends with you?"

"Believe me, I've been asking myself that for weeks."

"Do you need a little refresher here, Daniel? You were the one who called me, and then continued to call me. It's your fault."

"That's true. Fine, I only have myself to blame."

"Haha, yep. Anyway, I feel like I must warn you that I'm about to fall asleep at any second."

"At any second?"

"As soon as I got home, I changed into my pyjamas and now I'm lying in bed and as you know, my bed is a cloud."

"Haha, that I vaguely recall. Any spiders keeping you company tonight?"

"Daniel! Just as I was beginning to forget about that, you just had to bring it up again."

"Sorry."

"No, you're not. I think you scared all the spiders away after you went ninja on their cousin."

"Spiders fear me."

"I'm not even going to touch on that."

"Spend any more money today?"

"A ridiculous amount."

"Anything good?"

"Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have bought the designs."

"Whoa, I was only asking."

"Then you shouldn't ask stupid questions."

"What did you stock up on today, then?"

"A few Temperley dresses, a ballgown from Vivienne Westwood, too many coats and jackets from Mulberry and Belstaff, these amazing leather trousers from Topshop Unique and a couple of outfits from Mary Kantrantzou."

"Out of interest, where are you planning on keeping all these clothes?"

"There's a reason I live in a five bedroom house. One bedroom is for shoes, the other handbags, a third is for accessories and then the fourth spare room is for clothes."

"You bought a house with four spare rooms just so you could use them as closet space?"

"No, I bought the house because it was in a great location. The bedrooms were a bonus."

"Another question, what do you do with the clothes that are out of season?"

"I keep them. My parents' country house has a decent square footage where I can stash away clothes. You never know, one day they'll be vintage and worth a lot of money."

"Planning on keeping them and passing them down when you have a daughter, are you?"

"..."

"Sophie?"

"I'm not having children."

"You sound pretty adamant there, Soph."

"That's because I am adamant."

"Yeah, but never say never, right?"

"I'm not having children, Daniel. Drop the subject."

"Um, ok. Subject dropped."

"I'm going to bed. I'm beat."

"Oh... yeah, well, if you're tired."

"I am. Good night, Daniel."
