He says thank you.

And thank you for your letter.

Raine

Jack

Raine

I’ll bring it back when I come to get my tattoo.

Jack

Floof update—2:23pm Irish Standard Time/3:23pm in Berlin. Sitting at your favorite stool and missing you.

Raine

Raine update—Standing next to a very talkative man on the bus and missing floofs too. And you.

Jack

If he bothers you, call me, and I’ll pretend to be your boyfriend. You can tell him I keep a giant knife on me at all times.

Raine

I take it therapy is going well.

Is that a knife in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Jack

You are so inappropriate.

Raine

This is why I will never have a real job.

Jack

Your job is real.

Raine

Okay, a normal job, then.

Jack

Better.
