J A N E Liv Hamilton, huh?

[thompson weathers]

t o m m y ... What about her?

[jane ridley]

J A N E Didn't peg you for the influencer type, but she's a cute one!

[thompson weathers]

t o m m y Oh Janey, are you jelly? Jelly Janey, updating your contact info in my cell.

[jane ridley]

J A N E Simply making an observation is all. You know how I clocked it? Your silly little watch.

[thompson weathers]

t o m m y Nothing little about it, though it's not the first time I've been caught out by it. I'm flattered you noticed.

[jane ridley]

J A N E How could I not, you somehow manage to flash it off every lightbulb in its general vicinity and blind me. You know who she reminds me of? Princess, if she'd ever been a college senior.

[thompson weathers]

t o m m y Are you calling my wife out for being an uneducated hick? Cause you'd be right.

[jane ridley]

J A N E Just so much zest for life and a baby face. When she first walked into Bootsy I half expected her to be wearing a backpack at the table. But gave her props when she was a smart networker and tipped 50% - are her boobs real? They look real.

[thompson weathers]

t o m m y Cece was the same before she saddled herself with twins. Do you have a crush on her? Good eye, yes, they are.

[jane ridley]

J A N E Ah, they zapped her life force? On Liv? Yeah, she's the moment and she's hot. It's weird if you don't have a crush on her?

[thompson weathers]

t o m m y Of course. Also her golden ticket, though. Who says I don't? She looks like my wife, that's my biggest kink.

[jane ridley]

J A N E Yeah, your sperm's probably 24 karat. I knew it. I'll fill your next table full of blondies.

[thompson weathers]

t o m m y Tried to tell her to yeetus that foetus2, but it was a no. Do you consider what you do to be sex work adjacent?

[jane ridley]

J A N E No way, she was probably putting her legs up on the wall a la Kim K. No. It’s more like poker, to me.
