Grace: Cock-a-doodle-doo! Daylight’s burning! Wakey-wakey!

Noah: Do you see what time it is?

Grace: Sure do! So you better get over here! We don’t have a minute to waste!

Noah: It’s not even six in the morning, babe. You think I can remember anything about my life before six in the morning?

Grace: If I can remember that you’re an early bird, then I’m betting you can remember plenty. (Including the fact that I don’t want you calling me babe!)

Noah: I’m supposed to meet up with Matt this morning.

Grace: What? Why?

Noah: Not sure. He says he has something important to talk about.

Grace: So do we!

Noah: I’ll come over after I meet him for breakfast.

Grace: How long will that be?

Noah: I don’t know.

Grace: Come over now. We can at least get started.

Noah: Can’t. Already headed out the door for a run.

Grace: Thought 6 was too early for you.

Noah: Good thing you reminded me I’m an early bird. See you this afternoon, babe.

Grace: Afternoon?!
