Brittany: I can’t. I’m busy.

Kieran: Busy with what? Come onnn I need attention or I’ll wither away.

Brittany: Goodbye, Kieran. You’ll have all of my attention… on Saturday evening.

Wednesday

Kieran: Good morning, Mo Stóirín.

Brittany: Are you finally going to tell me what that means? Should I just google it now that I know how to spell it?

Kieran: *laughing emojis* You haven’t looked it up yet?

Brittany: You have 3 minutes to tell me or I’m googling.

Kieran: Fine, it’s an Irish phrase that roughly translates to “little darling.”

Brittany: Oh.

Kieran: Don’t make it weird. I like it, it suits you, Mo Stóirín.

Kieran:You’re leaving me on read now?

Kieran: Britt…

Thursday

Brittany: Hey, sorry about yesterday. I got caught up at work.

Three hours later

Kieran: Hey, sorry I’m caught up too. Text you later?

Brittany: Yeah. That’s fine.

Kieran: Have a good day, Brave Girl.

Brittany: You too, Mystery Man.

Friday

Brittany: Tomorrow, Mystery Man.

Kieran: Excuse me?? You’re texting me first? Miss me, Mo Stóirín?

Brittany: I miss something…

Kieran: Don’t you dare, I’ll leave work right now and be at your job in twenty. Speaking of, where did you say that was, again?

Brittany: I didn’t, nice try though. I wish, but I have a ton to do today. I do wish we didn’t have to wait until tomorrow though.

Kieran: Brave Girl, we’re adults.. We make the rules here. You just have to say the word and I’ll be on my way tonight.

Kieran: Gotta go, Brave Girl. Call or text me later.

Brittany: Bye, Mystery man, I’ll see you later.
