Jo | Declan
"This is Cassie's, would you like to place an order?"
"Yes please. One second."
"Okay, whenever you're ready, sir."
"Cal, what the fuck do you want to eat?"
"..."
"Did you seriously leave? What the hell?"
"Um, hello?"
"Calvin, if you do not get your flat ass back in this house, so help me god—"
"Hold on, are you talking about Cal as in Lila's Cal?"
"Uh, yeah?"
"Oh my shit."
"Your shit? What's wrong with it?"
"This is the guy from the phone isn't it? Who keeps calling me by mistake?"
"Holy mother of Chinese food, is this Eyelash Girl?"
"Eyelash Girl?"
"Yes, you called me cussing when you got an eyelash stuck in your eye."
"Oh, right. Sorry about that."
"It's fine. Anyways, how do you know Cal? And Lila?"
"I'm Lila's best friend and the reason they got together."
"No way. You're the famous Jo that Cal is always telling me that he's scared of."
"Cal is scared of me? That makes me happy."
"Well, I wouldn't say scared..."
"You said it, you meant it."
"... Fine, he's scared of you. But don't tell him I told you or he'll probably try and take my eyes out with one of his fountain pens."
"This is Declan, isn't it?"
"It sure is. Declan, not duck land. One of my teachers called me that on the first day of school a few years back."
"Are you serious? She called you duck land?"
"Yep. One of the highlights of my high school career."
"That's... pleasant."
"I like your choice of words, Jo."
"Likewise, duck land."
