Nothing.

For fuck’s sake, this is like pulling teeth, or herding cats, or whatever one finds difficult when putting in far too much effort. I try to ignore that little voice in my head, asking me why I’m even putting in this effort.

Oh, you prefer romcoms. Knew it.

I don’t watch movies.

Figures.

Should have guessed. Do you do ANYTHING for fun?

(Fun: amusement, enjoyment, pleasure, excitement. Can also be a mood for finding or making amusement)

And once again, nothing.

I take my lower lip between my teeth as I watch the phone screen, feeling a sense of disappointment that he isn’t writing back. But maybe it’s not necessarily disappointment. Maybe I... feel bad? There’s obviously something more to Ty. Something deep. He’s still a dick, but maybe there’s a reason he’s a dick.

Not that that changes anything…

I bet you’re doing something fun right now

Let me guess

Reading a book

Doing a crossword

Watercolor

Stargazing

I’m going to block you.

But you haven’t. So…

You must be stargazing then

What?

That’s the last one you responded to.

It’s a nice night, why wouldn’t you?

What the fuck are you talking about.

Well, who knows Ty. It’s not like you’re talking to me. This could be going a lot smoother if you just participated

Don’t you have a kid’s movie to watch?

My eyes dart to the TV as I realize I haven’t been paying attention to it at all. I’ve seen it a thousand times, but still… It's my favorite movie. But something about this conversation is totally filling my bucket.

But this is so much fun

For you.

Exactly

I’m going now.
