CAL: Answer my question first.
ASTRID: I did not.
ASTRID: Well?
ASTRID: CAL!
CAL: What?
ASTRID: Did you take his mug?
CAL: Yes.
ASTRID: Why? Did you start drinking coffee?
CAL: You noticed I don’t drink that stuff?
ASTRID: The coffeemaker is right by my desk. I think I’d notice if you went over there several times a day.
ASTRID: Oh!
CAL: Oh what?
ASTRID: You have been by there a lot more recently.
CAL: I must have been lost.
ASTRID: Whatever you say.
CAL: I’ll get the mug back without Bear noticing.
ASTRID: You are pretty sneaky. Special forces training?
CAL: Four sisters who are nosy as hell.
ASTRID: I’m jealous. I always wanted siblings.
CAL: I’ll rent mine out for your Netflix password. We’re in the same building that provides internet. They’ll never know we aren’t in the same household.
ASTRID: Good night, Cal.
CAL: Good night, Astrid.
ASTRID: Catnip
CAL: ?
ASTRID: It’s the name of my future Maine Coon and my Netflix password. Don’t mess up my recommended shows.
CAL: All Forged In Fire all the time. Got it.
ASTRID: I love that show! Good night, Cal.
CAL: Good night, Astrid.
