"Yes"

"No"

"I love you so much it hurts to breathe, Meredith You know me better than that"

"I know Like I said, it was a knee-jerk reaction"

"I think we need to talk when you get home, sweetheart"

"I’m really sorry," she says "Why haven’t you ever talked about her before?"

"Because I don’t see her often She and her husband are workaholics"

"Oh"

"Hoork?" I start the Jeep and pull into traffic now that the jealousy storhs "I miss you"

"I ht?"

"Yes, but you don’t have to pick us up We can grab a cab"

"I’ll work on that," she says "Who kneas this jealous?"

"Not h school"

"Weird," she whispers

"The video Jax sent "

"Thanks"

"Mer?"

"Yeah?"

"You okay?"

"No I feel like an idiot"

"You’re a pretty idiot" She finally laughs and I smile in response "Call me later when you’re ready for bed"

"What if I call you naked again?"

"Will you send me pictures?"

"No"

"I’ll talk you into it"
