Page 35 of Love’s a Script (Hearts Collide #1)

MARY NEILSON: Oh, sorry, didn’t know you were working.

RUBEN BYERS: You good, baby. Just dictating some notes. What’s up?

MN: Nothing, just went to the mailbox, and you’ve got some letters. Is this the new recorder?

RB: Yeah, but be careful with the microphone end. The muff keeps popping off.

MN: Oooh. Nice. [Clears throat] Ruben Byers, please describe to listeners your exact feelings for one Mary Neilson.

RB: Well, you could say I’m enamored, head over heels, lovestruck.

MN: Hmm. Very good. I believe she has described her feelings similarly.

RB: Has she now?

MN: Yes, I think she’s even said you’re a good lay.

RB: [Laughs] That’s nice to hear. If she’s happy, I’m happy.

[Interference]

MN: I don’t think Mary Neilson would be too impressed with me sitting on your lap…or where your hand is moving.

RB: The interview is over, love. Put the recorder down.

MN: No, I think I have a few more… [Distortion] No, you’re right, it’s over.

[Clattering]
