CHAPTER SEVEN
______________

"Car dealer?"

"No."

"Investments?"

"No."

"Owner of an invention, like Apple?"

"No, c'mon, be smarter."

"Suit Brand?"

"... That might just work. She can ruin one of his suits with the coffee spill."

"Brilliant."

"Then maybe she has to write about him or something. Should there be a scandal?"

"Maybe at some point of the book for extra wow. I think he should just be a pretty big deal for her to write about him."

"He is going to be a millionaire."

"Since when?"

"Girls love money."

"I guess he is a CEO..."

"Exactly. So maybe her and Samuel can compete for the story?"

"Or be assigned together."

"That seems better since they hate eachother and like, are going to—"

"Should their boss assign them?"

"Maybe, but not force them. Just make it super appealing, like he promises a promotion if they do a good job, ya' know?"

"Yeah, alright."

"Should Juniper have family by the way?"

"Obviously."

"Okayyyy, so mom, dad, brother?"

"Too many boys. Sister."

"Okay."

"And we need some supporting characters. A best friend."

"A gay best friend."

"A lesbian best friend?"

"Should she fall in love with Juniper?"

"No, that's too much. She can be loyal to her girlfriend the whole book, maybe a breakup just to throw things off a little."

"But they'll end up back together?"

"Yep."

"Great, I'll write that down. What are our name ideas?"

"Emily? Patty? Willow? Elane? Alexandra? Taylor?"

"Elane sounds good enough. And the girlfriend?"

"I feel like she should be an immigrant, from Korea or something? Or maybe Japanese?"

"Sure, so like... Yui?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay."

"How'd you think of that?"

"Anime, babe."

"I haven't watched a lot of that. Been binge watching Star Trek."

"Ew. That's old."

"Well, anime can be too."

"But it's better."

"Don't start with me, woman."

"I will gladly have a debate with you."

"We've been at it for what? Three hours? Is that enough?"

"Yes."

"This way then. To the TV. I'll fucking show you how good Star Trek is."

"Then I'll fucking show you how much better anime is."
