Millie
SHUT UP!! No way?!
Millie
I want details. Spill everything.
Millie
Was on the train and am just seeing your texts. I’m at work now, but this is so much better than spreadsheets. Give me the dirt.
Skye
Sorry — shower. I was trying to get ready for work myself. I’m going to be so late.
Millie
So be a tiny bit later and tell me what is going on. I’m dying here.
Skye
You and me both. I’m flipping out.
Millie
I can’t believe you sexted with Caleb! I’m so jealous.
Skye
You have a boyfriend.
Millie
I don’t care. If he saw Caleb, he’d understand.
Millie
Please tell me he still looks the way he looked five years ago.
Millie
You didn’t get a picture? Excuse me while I go weep in the bathroom.
Skye
OMG, you are too much.
Millie
I’m not the one sexting two men at once.
Skye
It was an accident! I never meant to sext Caleb. I thought I was getting Scott.
Millie
What? You wanted my opinion. I’m giving it.
Millie
I’m team Caleb 💯 🙌 🙌
Skye
Come on, I need real advice here.
Millie
And I’m giving it to you. Scott is a tool.
Millie
I didn’t like when you dated him in college.
Millie
I didn’t like when you dated him afterward.
Millie
And I didn’t like when you hooked up with him at the reunion.
Millie
You know all this, and yet you keep going back to him.
Skye
He’s not *that* bad.
Millie
Really? Because I seem to remember you in tears all the time.
Skye
We fought because we were passionate.
Millie
You fought because he was a jerk.
Millie
Do you hear yourself?
Millie
You’re still making excuses for him. You need to stop.
Millie
He hit on your friends and made you self-conscious.
Millie
Remember when he’d forget your birthday?
Millie
You’d remind him — but he still wouldn’t do anything.
Millie
Oh my god. If you say his “magic tongue,” I am going to reach through this phone and smack you.
Millie
You deserve better.
Skye
But that was years ago. You saw us at the reunion. Admit it, we were cute.
Millie
Then he didn’t call you. And once again, more drama over Scott.
Skye
It wasn’t his fault.
Millie
Then whose fault was it?
Millie
The telephone company? Did it magically block your number?
Skye
It was Caleb. He told him not to.
Millie
And Scott listened? That should tell you something.
Skye
No, it wasn’t like that. It was nice.
Skye
He wanted to make sure he was ready for something real.
Millie
I don’t want to see you get hurt again.
Millie
What about Caleb? Why not give him a chance?
Millie
I always liked him.
Skye
You and everyone else.
Millie
You know, Vivian is still mad that you never fixed the two of them up.
Skye
I didn’t know him well enough to ask.
Millie
Oh please, we both know that’s not true.
Millie
Do you not remember how you talked about him ALL the time?
Millie
Every story was Caleb this and Caleb that—
Millie
Half of the time I forgot that Scott was the one you were dating.
Skye
You’re making that up, because you don’t want me back with my ex.
Millie
Nope. You can try and rewrite history as much as you want, but I know the truth.
Millie
You were totally enamored with Caleb.
Millie
Why are you fighting this so hard?
Skye
Because you’re trying to make it seem like I didn’t love Scott, and I did.
Millie
I know you loved him. But he didn’t treat you well.
Millie
Caleb always seemed interested, and apparently, he still is.
Skye
Yeah, that or he’s using me to get back at Scott.
Millie
Why would he do that?
Skye
Because they hate each other.
Millie
Who told you that?
Skye
Scott. Well, both of them.
Skye
But Scott said Caleb was using me to get back at him.
Millie
That seems more like something Scott would do.
Skye
Scott didn’t even know I texted Caleb until I told him. Caleb on the other hand…
Skye
He didn’t even come right out and say he was still living with Scott. He withheld the information.
Skye
AND it took some teeth-pulling to find out that he was the reason Scott never reached out to me.
Skye
He waited before telling the truth.
Millie
Probably because he didn’t know how to tell you. It’s a weird thing to confess.
Skye
How do I know what’s true?
Skye
Caleb told me had feelings for me, that he always did—
Millie
Way to bury the lead.
Skye
Maybe, but it could all be a lie.
Millie
And it could also be the start of an incredible relationship.
Millie
I swear, your life is better than the movies.
Millie
You have two hot guys who want you.
Millie
Poor Skye. We all feel bad so bad for you. 😉
Skye
Okay, maybe it’s not the worst problem in the world…
Skye
But I still don’t know what to do.
Skye
I loved Scott. I always thought he was going to be the one.
Skye
And reunion was nice. *Really* nice. I think he’s changed.
Millie
It sounds like you’re #TeamScott.
Skye
I don’t know what I am.
Skye
But he made a lot of good points. What if our bond is unshakeable?
Skye
Should I really be throwing that away?
Millie
So you’ll throw out Caleb instead?
Millie
What are you going to do?
Skye
Distract myself with work.
Millie
Good luck with that.
Millie
You better keep me posted.
But all Skye can think about is Caleb and Scott.
If Caleb really did like her, shouldn’t he have come clean about everything sooner?
She wants someone she can trust.
She’s going to pick Scott.
If it’s Scott she wants, then why did her heart just skip a beat?
