Candy crush?
No, Trivia Crack.
Who are you playing?
Denise’s sister.
I didn’t know Denise had a sister.
She does, and she’s not very good at this game.
I’ve beaten her like fifty times in a row.
Why does she keep playing you if she keeps losing?
She says she’ll outlast me, that she has more stamina.
Now, I KNOW that’s not possible. Do you want me to tell her?
You get away from my phone.
Doesn’t the name “Trivia Crack” sound like a warning?
I mean “Crack” isn’t exactly known for its salutary effects.
“Salutary”? I’m glad I’m not playing you at this game.
Don’t make fun of my nerdy vocabulary…
Don’t make fun of my trivia crack addiction…

couple, sitting
i’m not all boys, so i am not
the one who must have hurt you –
i’m honest, and i’m loyal, and
i would not just desert you
if you could see you through my eyes
i know that you would feel
that what i’m saying is the truth
and all of this is real
so try me out, we’ll take our time –
i know that you’ve been burned –
and that, for you to trust me is
a thing that must
be earned

So — why do men tell lies?I don’t know
Some guys are just jerks, I guess
Although
Women have been known to tell
A lie or two, as well
When they feel like itHas a woman ever lied to you?
Yes
Did she break your heart?
Not completely –
Has a guy ever lied to you and
Broke your heart?Yes –
And worseI’m sorry –

And I won’t lie to you
Deal?Deal
But seriously,
Did she break your heart?She did – but it’s nothing…

So, what are you reading?
She said
I don’t know. I think I might have the book upside down.
He answered
Are you going to stay angry with me?
She asked
Are you going to stay angry at me?
He asked in return
No
She said
No, either
He said
Good
She said,
Because this book on water heater parts
Really isn’t doing it for me
