"Hi, E. It's a little late to be calling, don't you think?"

"You said later, and I wasn't sure how much later, so I overthought about how much later I should call, and before I knew it, hours had passed, so I wanted to call while I still had the nerve."

"That's the...cutest explanation."

"Well, thank you. I also have the cutest face."

"I wouldn't know."

"Do you want to?"

"I don't - I don't know."

"Hm. Something to think on. Do you mind if I ask my sixth question?"

"Go ahead."

"Have you ever been in love?"

"That's a really deep question."

"Is it too deep?"

"No, no, it's okay. I don't mind. I was in love once, yes."

"Me, too."

"Really? The wild E was tamed?"

"Aha, somewhat. But I wasn't tamed enough, I suppose, because she ended up leaving."

"Oh. I'm sorry, E."

"It's alright. It was my fault. I took her love for granted and expected her to come back every time I messed up, and then, finally...she didn't."

"Didn't what?"

"Come back. And I was left wishing I could take it all back."

"..."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tell you all that."

"No, no, it's okay. I was just processing it, is all. I was also taking a second to decide if I wanted to tell you my love story."

"And do you?"

"Yeah, I do. It's simple, really. I loved him and thought he loved me, too, but he showed his love by sleeping with a girl in my apartment while I was gone on vacation. I came back to surprise him and walked in on them. So, it was over, obviously."

"Gosh, Ivy, I'm sorry. That is really tough. I'm sorry, you don't deserve that. What a complete idiot."

"I know. It's okay. Boy, we're really full of sorry's and heartbreak tonight, aren't we?"

"Ivy, are you...are you crying?"

"No. My nose is just stuffed up, is all."

"Oh, like how you were sniffling and told me that you had allergies the first time I met you?"

"Yeah, something like that."

"I know something that will make you feel better."

"And what's that?"

"A promise."

"What promise?"

"A promise from me to you."

"I'm listening."

"I promise to never break your heart, and I promise to never take you for granted."

"Pinky promise?"

"You still do that?"

"Pinky promises are sacred. If you break it, then the friendship is over forever."

"I wouldn't want that. Yes, I pinky promise. I've got my pinky up in the air. Do you?"

"Yes."

"Then I, E, pinky promise to never break your heart, Ivy, and to never take you for granted."

"I promise that, too."

"Now that that's dealt with, let's sleep, shall we?"

"That'd be nice. I'm way past my bedtime."

"My fault. I'm sorry."

"I'm kidding. It's okay."

"Sweet dreams, Ivy. Talk tomorrow?"

"Goodnight, E. I'll be waiting."
