Lou: how'd you sleep
KittyCat: meh. like a log.
Lou: at least you can type now
KittyCat: ha. ha. laughing so hard
Lou: it was actually really funny
KittyCat: i told you i was half asleep!
Lou: doesn't make it any less funny
KittyCat: stop making fun of me
Lou: ok ok geez
Lou: party pooper
KittyCat: if you can be serious for two seconds i actually have something i wanted to talk about
Lou: ok i'm serious now
KittyCat: now that i'm not half-dreaming everything seems so much more real
Lou: elaborate por favor
KittyCat: i'm actually doing this. i ran away from my abusive boyfriend. i'm in a crusty hotel with a bad name, a bad smell, and a bad problem with cockroaches. you're sending me tickets and i'm flying away. i'm going to fly away.
Lou: describe flying away
Lou: i'm in the mood for poetry
KittyCat: it's going to be like breathing for the first time, like taking a huge gulp of air after staying underwater for as long as i can. i'm just going to spread my wings and fly. i'm going to drop my last piece of ballast and simply float off on the breeze
Lou: now i'm scared
KittyCat: why?
Lou: i feel like i'm a piece of your ballast and when you fly away you're just going to leave me behind
KittyCat: oh, lou. louis, my loubear, no.
KittyCat: you don't ever have to be afraid of being my ballast because you're the one making me fly
KittyCat: lou? you still there?
Lou: yeah i had to get some tissues
Lou: i started crying when you sent that, proper bawling you know, and all of my best mates were sitting there staring at me
KittyCat: sounds like an awkward situation
Lou: not really, i mean, those guys are my only friends. they've seen me do worse.
KittyCat: how nice
Lou: ok, now you're mad
KittyCat: totally not
Lou: what did i do this time?
KittyCat: promise me you won't laugh?
Lou: cross my heart
KittyCat: ok so you said those guys were your only friends, and i thought, what does that make me?
Lou: oh
KittyCat: yeah, oh. go ahead and oh
KittyCat: am i just a girl you're using to play with?
Lou: totally not!!!
KittyCat: can't wait to hear your excuse this time
Lou: no it's not like that!!!
Lou: the truth is i really like you
Lou: and i think of you as more than just a friend
Lou: and i hate to feel like i'm blackmailing you but without me you're stuck at the Kountry Inn
Lou: i'll text you in the morning love
Lou: sleep this one off
Lou: i love you
