JACK: Hey, it’s Jack. Got your number from the lease, hope it’s ok to text you. I forgot to ask if you wanted me to clear the furniture out of the room or not.

ME: Texts are good. I don’t answer phone calls anyway. Are you offering me the use of all that gorgeous furniture?

JACK: Please spare me the hassle of having to get it picked up before you move in.

JACK: So did you want it?

JACK: Shit. Did not mean to send that emoji.

JACK: And by it, I mean the furniture. Just the furniture.

JACK: Do you want the furniture?

ME: Oh, I definitely want it.

ME: Guys. I’m not sure if you know this, but there is like so much to see in NYC.

GEMMA: Yes, Sadie. We know.

HARLEY: Sounds like you’re enjoying your two-week staycation?

ME: I’m soaking up as much Manhattan as I can.

HARLEY: It’s only a subway ride away, you know.

GEMMA: Not that you’re ever gonna wanna go back once you’re out in Brooklyn living your little hipster millennial dream.

ME: Wow. I’m so not a hipster.

NICK: Sadie. Your new life plan is to open a sustainable floral design business. You might as well change your name to Juniper and start a podcast.

ME: In general, how do you feel about plants?

JACK: Fine I guess?

ME: Do you have any floral-related allergies?

JACK: Not that I’m aware of.

ME: Good.

JACK: Just how many plants are you bringing?

ME: Is it weird that I can already hear the judgment in that text?

ME: Is it weirder that I’m impressed by said judgment?

ME: Sup, bitches, make sure you go follow my new Insta account, @bridgeandblooms

HARLEY: Followed! Cute pics so far!

ME: Thanks! I’ve been doing all this exploring and I keep finding all these great floral inspiration shots.

NICK: All I can see in my head is you frolicking through the streets of Manhattan like you’re Maria von Trapp singing “Sound of Music.”

ME: Did we all just fall in love with Nicky or just me?

GEMMA: Just you. Followed your account. But if you get a TikTok, I’m out.
