❝Q, I know you're there. I can hear you breathing and it's quiet loud I might add.❞

"I do not want to talk."

❝We've been on the phone for ten minutes in complete silence until now. If you didn't want to talk you should have hung up. Now will you please tell me why you're being so strange?❞

"No."

❝Quentin...❞

"No."

❝Is it because of yesterday? You said you need me. I know you didn't mean in a romantic way. You're always joking.❞

"Shut up."

❝I'm trying to have a conversation with you.❞

"I have nothing to say to you."

❝Why are you giving me the cold shoulder?❞

"I'm not giving you the cold shoulder. I'm giving this conversation the cold shoulder."

❝That doesn't make any sense!❞

"I rather not talk about feelings or anything romantic."

❝Oh. I finally get it.❞

"Excuse me? What?"

❝You liiiiiiiiike me! You're starting to liiiiiiiike me!❞

"I do not."

❝Yes! You do! This is why you've been acting strange! You don't how to act now that you realize you like me!❞

"Stop shouting into the phone dimples, you're wrong."

❝...❞

"Seriously? Now you're going to play the silent game?"

❝...❞

"Well fine! Two can play at that game!"

❝Are we seriously acting this way?❞

"Yes, yes we are."

❝Look, I like you.❞

"You do?"

❝Like one percent I do.❞

"I one percent like you too."

❝Oh? Just one percent?❞

"Until you can say hi to me when I enter that cafe, it will remain one percent."

❝I'm shy, sue me.❞

"Well, get less shy."

❝Quentin you're amazing! I'm no longer shy! Great job!❞

"Sarcasm on you isn't funny."

❝It's a little funny.❞

"Fine, it's a little funny."

❝Friends? Plus, that little one percent?❞

"Friends and that one percent."

❝I'm going to hang up now.❞

"Do you have to? I wanna talk a little longer."

❝Only for a few more minutes.❞
