"Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling."
"Did you really try to comfort me with that line?"
"Well. Is it working?"
"What do you think? No, it's not."

"Good morning, Sweetheart!"
"Good morning, Owen."
"What are you planning on doing today?"
"Nothing other than working."
"Lucky."
"Really? I wouldn't say that. It's going to be a pretty long and boring day."
"Well, at least you are working."
"Yeah. I guess. Sorry if it seems like I'm bragging about it."
"No. Don't worry. You're not."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. I am just not used to being at home all day by myself. I think it is just starting to hit."
"How much longer until you figure out if you got accepted?"
"Ay, I thought we weren't going to talk about all of that for two days."
"I mean, it was your idea after all."
"Dang. You're right. I shouldn't have came up with that idea."
"Personally, I think it was a great idea."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I do. We have spent so much time talking about the whole situation and I don't know about you, but it has added so much stress."
"I guess it has added stress to me too."
"Yeah, so I came up with the idea of spending the whole day either doing nothing, but relaxing. Sort of having a spa day if you will -"
"That's a pretty girly thing to do. I thought you were a 'Manly Man'."
"Hey, don't knock it until you try it. And yes, I am a manly man. There is no need for air quotes. Now can I get back to what I was saying?"
"Okay, I'm sorry Mr. Manly Man. I'm sorry for interrupting you. Continue."
"Um, that's not my nickname."
"I don't know. I think I might like it better."
"If you keep calling me that then I think I will just do the other suggestion that you haven't let me tell you yet."
"And what is that?"
"Taking a break from talking to you."
"Oh heck no. That is not happening. Not now, not ever."
"That's what I thought. So now, I guess we should have a spa day to help us relax."
"So does that mean we are going to meet. Because I always thought it would be a more extravagant deal than a spa day designed to help us forget about our future."
"It will, believe me. For today I was thinking that we would do it are our own houses and - I know this will sound stupid, but like report back."
"I think that's a perfect idea. Let me call into work and we can get started."
