CHAPTER 22

DALLAS

A message from Wills is followed by several photos of various wrapped boxes.

Wills

What is this?

Dallas

Gift boxes.

Wills

Why are they here?

Dallas

They’re for you, obviously.

Wills

Why are you buying me things?

Dallas

Because you’re my fiancée, and I’m taking you on a date, and I love shopping.

Wills

I’m not sure if you’ve hit your head recently, but I am your FAKE fiancée, and this is a FAKE date.

Dallas

You should delete that message. That’s not something you want anybody else to see. If you don’t want them, I can take them back.

The humping dots appear, disappear, then appear again.

Dallas

Seriously. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, so if they really bother you, I will take them back.

Wills

You don’t have to do that. But how do you know my size in EVERYTHING?

Dallas

Wills

That only accounts for my panties.

Dallas

I went through your closet when I was at your place for dinner with the family.

Wills

You did not.

Dallas

You’re right. I didn’t. I’m very good at guessing. If this hockey career doesn’t pan out, I figure I can move to carnivals.

Wills

But the clowns, Dallas.

Dallas

Good point. Better not fuck up this career then.

Wills

Aren’t you glad I’m here to keep you out of trouble?

Dallas

Immensely grateful. I’m happy to show you how grateful with any body part you’d like.

Wills

Thank you for the clothes.

Obviously, she’s ignoring my offer. Hopefully she’ll let me come up to her place at the end of our date so I can get another hit.

Dallas

Entirely my pleasure.
