MELODY

:photo of the backs of Hannah and Kieran with Button walking to the side of them on a hiking path:

Apparently Aspen likes hiking? But Damien doesn’t let her go without supervision? So she recruited me and Libby?

TONY

…

I’d forgotten about that. I think it has to do with how they met.

MELODY

…

Aspen says hi.

So do Hannah and Kieran.

TONY

What about Libby?

MELODY

She says hi, too.

TONY

And you?

MELODY

:selfie of Melody giving him the middle finger:

TONY

MELODY

I do not get you sometimes. It’s like you’re masochistic for wanting to be with me.

TONY

You balance me.

MELODY

What are you doing today?

TONY

:photo of feet up on a recliner and a late morning news show on a wall-mounted flat-screen TV:

MELODY

Still bored?

TONY

SO BORED.

And you told me to stop buying you stuff.

:selfie of Tony making a pouty face:

MELODY

TONY

Even Zach’s getting annoyed with me.

MELODY

This is news?

TONY

He’s a trained bodyguard.

He’s not supposed to get annoyed at clients.

And tell them.

I don’t tell my demanding talent what assholes they’re being when we’re on set.

MELODY

Do you need water? Food? A nap?

TONY

You don’t have to treat me like a toddler.

But maybe a nap?

MELODY

I’m viewing this as practice for Peanut. Gods help me.

TONY

I can’t even work on any film projects right now. If I read something I like, I’m going to want to bid on it.

I have been reading up on pregnancy stuff. Are you having any food aversions? Breast tenderness?

MELODY

I…

No.

I’m okay. Still can’t drink coffee. But that’s the only thing. I’m not commenting about the breasts.

TONY

You can test them and send me the video?

:gif of man waggling eyebrows:

MELODY

Pervert.

I have to herd two other women, two children, and two dogs. Bye.

Maybe later.
