NOVEMBER

Xander:

How do you hit fast forward on this thing?

Derek:

What thing?

Xander:

Time. Life. Everything. I’m getting impatient.

Derek:

You? Impatient?

Xander:

How is this month somehow slower than all the other months combined?

Derek:

Only eighteen days left!

Xander:

Only, he says. ONLY.

Derek:

Concentrate on that big commission of yours and it will fly.

Xander:

The asshole’s being really picky.

Derek:

He’s paying you a lot of money, he’s allowed to be.

Xander:

Do me a favor?

Derek:

Anything.

Xander:

Leave your sense of logic in Cambodia.

Derek:

No can do.

I got you a present today.

Xander:

Is it that you’re coming home early?

Derek:

Haha, no. But now my present feels like a letdown.

Xander:

It won’t. I promise. Eighteen days. Fuck, Derek. I get to see you in eighteen days.

Derek:

It almost doesn’ t feel real.

Xander:

Don’t think I’ve forgotten about your welcome home. We had an agreement.

Derek:

Bug, it’s all I can fucking think about.
