ME: So X came this morning and made it possible for me to finally get to work on editing this rather long blog manuscript. I feel so grateful to him!
ANTHONY: Him?
ME: My friend’s husband. It’s a long story. OMG, are you jealous?
ANTHONY: You are far too friendly and you say “I love you” to too many people, Jules.
ME: What are you talking about? I never told X I loved him; I was just grateful! Anyway, what the hell are you worried about, Ants? I am just trying to write a book about you; you should be flattered!
ANTHONY: “Hell” is not a word we use here but I do see your point, Jules. Apologies.
ME: Okay, so about the book.
ANTHONY: Yes?
ME: I’m still not quite sure what the point of it is.
ANTHONY: Me?
ME: Yes, you, I suppose.
ANTHONY: You?
ME: Now that is a really good idea, Ants!
ANTHONY: We can do it together, Jules, so can this be exclusive?
ME: We might need X in the future – is that okay?
ANTHONY: Yes.
Sounds practical.
Sounds good
I am SO loving these imagined conversations. More! More!
