George's phone buzzed in the midst of watching Katie build a snowman outside.

Since he had been having anxiety since he had given Philip the present, he rushed to open the message perhaps a bit faster than he should have.

Xxx-xxxx: Hey, it's Philip. You told me to call you, but I don't know if you're busy right now, so I'll text you instead. If you want to text at all, I mean. (11:18 am)

George grinned liked a little kid with a crush. He quickly changed Philip's contact to his name.

Me: Hi, it's George, but I guess you already know that. How has your break been? (11:19 am)

Philip: Relaxing. I like teaching little kids, but they can be a handful, so it's nice to have time to myself. How has yours been? (11:19 am)

Me: Not as relaxing. My family is tiring, and Katie never calms down. (11:19 am)

Philip: That's too bad. I hope you get to relax at some point. Also, thank you for the book you gave me. (11:21 am)

Me: No problem. Katie and I wanted to get you something nice. (11:22 am)

Philip: Well now I have to get you something. (11:22 am)

Me: No you don't. (11:22 am)

Philip: Too late, I already have an idea. (11:22 am)

Me: Fine, but you can't spend more money on me that I spent on you. (11:23 am)

Philip: :) (11:23 am)

George smiled at his phone fondly before going outside to yell at Katie to stop eating snow.
