Sounds good. Donât think Imma be staying out too late tonight, but maybe something low-key like drinks and a movie? Can check whatâs playing and get back to ya.
Maybe can meet up with Emily and friends after, or leave you chicks to it . . .

âChicks.â We donât speak in clucks and leave feathers everywhere.
Anyway, donât want to drag you out of the house if youâre still sick. Especially out of the house and into a public movie theater (youâve seen âOutbreak,â yeah?). So whatever is fine w/ me.

I know. I just feel weirdly vulnerable all of a sudden. Case in point: He says heâll look up show times for a movie and itâs as if he just sent me flowers.

Madeline, you are the biggest book geek I know. Are you really getting this bent out of shape over someone who unironically employs the phrase âImma beâ? I know, I know, Elliot is soooo funny and sooo smart and has street sense coming out his ears. But you know whatâs on the street? The Strand. Go read a book, dude.
Sorry, Iâm PMSing, hate everyone today and come bearing an emotional wiffle ball bat.
