"Do you like when he looks at you like that?"

"What do you mean?"

"When he ogles you like that, I mean."

"You sound jealous."

"Not jealous. Just tired."

"You don't need to be jealous."

"I'm not jealous!"

"That's okay. You can be jealous."

"I'm telling you, I'm not jealous."

"Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."

"I didn't think you were."

"That's fine then. What do you want for dinner?"

"Dinner? What are you making?"

"I don't know. I was hoping you would decide."

"I'm tired of making all the decisions."

"Or do you want to go out to eat?"

"Not really. I don't want to spend the money."

"That's why I asked about dinner!"

"All right, all right. I'll cook."

"That's what I thought you might say."

"You always get your way."

"Thanks, hon."

The text messages stare up at him, and he smiles.
