"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."

"Hello Cassidy."
"Hello Owen. How are you?"
"I'm doing pretty good."
"Last night was much needed."
"Yeah. I agree. It was nice to actually relax and calm down. The only thing I would change would be talking to you. I don't really care for how we stopped."
"Really? Because don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy talking to you, it gets pretty overwhelming at times."
"Yeah. I guess you're right."
"So what did you do after we hung up yesterday?"
"First thing I did was shut off my phone because I really wanted to relax and didn't want it to go off constantly."
"Dang. I wish I would have thought about that. Instead of that I did about the exact opposite and played stupid games on my phone."
"Ah. So you did call in to work, right?"
"Yeah. I took your advice - like always - and tried my best to relax."
"That's good."
"Yeah. It is, but not nearly as effective as yours."
"Mine was a fail. So I wouldn't believe that."
"Really? How so?"
"After I shut my phone off, I went to go take a bath-"
"Very manly."
"Okay stop it. I guess that I'm not that manly."
"Don't doubt that you are, Owen. I'm just teasing you."
"If you say so."
"I do. You actually are one of the most manly guys I know. So please stop doubting that."
"Okay."
"Remember this. I love you. And I love you the way you are."
"I know that. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Oh, and it's okay if you don't say it back. It's just something I love to say. I will continue to say it until I die. Because that is how long I will love you. Even then I will love you I just can't say it."
"Okay. Thank you. It is nice to hear once in awhile."
"And I am just using what I learned from you. You are pretty great at giving advice. I'm just paying you back."
"But let's not talk about that right now. Instead, tell me more about your night and how it wasn't that effective."
"Okay. So first off when I got to the bathroom to take a bath, I realized too late that there was no bubbles bath soap. I had already filled the tub up and just used some body wash and that was no good. And that's just the start."
