Grayson's dialogue is written in bold.

Nessa's dialogue is written in italics.

...

"You left without saying goodbye."

"I never say goodbye, it implies that you'll never see someone again."

"Ok... well you didn't say you were leaving."

"I was leaving you on edge."

"Is that how you end all your dates?"

"I don't know what that was, but it was not a date."

"Maybe a prune, then?"

"Hilarious."

"You love it."

"I don't actually, but you can think what you want."

"Well, I think you love it then."

"Not what I wanted you to say, but--"

"Kasen, Kasen  come here!"

"Who's Kasen?"

"A friend."

"Uh, okay. I'll talk to you later, then."

"No, it's okay. He wanted me to call you."

"..."

"He wanted to hear what you sounded like."

"..."

"I think he kinda thought you were fake."

"You haven't had a girlfriend before, have you?"

"Puh-lease. Like I would date anyone other than you. It was hard to turn every girl in school down, but I knew someone worth my time was coming."

"Your ego is the worst part about you."

"Right, you love it."

"That doesn't sound anything like what I said."

"That's what you meant to say."

"I really don't think--"

"Hey, I got to go. Supper is ready. Glad you got to see me."

"I'm not."

"Bye Nessie."

"Don't call me that."

"You need a nickname for me."

"Bye, Pretty Boy." 

"Anything except that one."

"Too bad."

-call ended-

"Gray, that'll work."

What do you think of the nicknames they have for each other?
