Thanks for coming swimming with me, Rosalid. It’s just I know you just broke up with Jeff last week. Not that this is a date or anything. I just brought some juiced oranges and sandwiches. Super unromantic. Um… you look really nice by the way. I like how you did your hair. Can I smell it? Sorry. That was weird. I don’t even know why I said that. You want to leave? You barely even touched your turkey panini! You said they were your favorite on Facebook 4 years ago! Okay, yeah. I’m just gonna go get some more juice.
