Chapter Fifteen

GABBY

Gabby:When are you coming to visit me?

Bower:Shouldn’t you be teaching right now?

Gabby:Lunch break.

Bower:Oh, duh.

Gabby:Answer the question. When are you coming to visit me?

Bower:When do you want me to visit you?

Gabby:I’d say tonight and spend the weekend with me, but I don’t have a working shower so you’d have to shower at Ryland’s place.

Bower:A shower never stopped me from hanging out with you.

Gabby:Wait, so you’re saying you will come visit me?

Bower:I can leave tomorrow morning and spend the weekend with you. Maybe we can have our very own in-house spa day like we used to do, my treat. There are fancy shops there, right? We can try out all the scrubs.

Gabby:I like that idea. I can go to the general store and grab us a bunch of frozen food like back in the day.

Bower:When you say frozen food, do you mean pizza bites and frozen pie from Marie Callender’s?

Gabby:Obviously.

Bower:Don’t forget the grape soda, Pringles, and cheese puffs.

Gabby:Do you think I actually would?

Bower:No, but it makes me more excited just saying it out loud. Want me to bring the DVD player and . . . the seasons?

Gabby:I think it’s necessary. I don’t think we can get through all of them, though, do you?

Bower:You’re underestimating our ability to do nothing in a weekend. We can get through them.

Gabby:Then bring them all.

Bower:Excellent! And we’re still in agreement that we should skip season five?

Gabby:If you bring it, I burn it.

Bower:Noted.

Gabby:Great! I can’t wait to see you.

Bower:Same.

Gabby:And when you’re here, get ready to be convinced to move.

Bower:I can feel the heavy guilt and rose-colored glasses already.

Gabby:Perfect. See you tomorrow!

It’s sweltering.
