Aaron Hear me out. You could ask her if she still works with yall. If yes, carry on your way. If not, shoot your shot. Worst case scenario she's not interested. Best case scenario she likes you. Either way you're not harassing a coworker.

[niko blackwood]

N I K O OK. If this bites me in the ass, I'm blaming you.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron An office crush, that's a new one. What's her deal?

[niko blackwood]

N I K O Yeah minus the whole office bit! She’s cute, smart, definitely has always been professional though.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron A non-music civilian then. It's probably a good thing you still like normal folks. Did the dust settle with that New York girl?

[niko blackwood]

N I K O Haha why? We’re just friends. And I’m good with that.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Shows your head hasn't inflated too much yet. Ok nice. Good for you, no trouble.

[niko blackwood]

N I K O Yeah I saw her when I was in the city. It was nice. What’s going on in your love life lately?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron What did yall do? Always the million dollar question. I don't know, still waiting on Sami. But where her head's at I can't say, since I heard she's making wedding arrangements. Got fixed up with someone by a friend.

[niko blackwood]

N I K O Got dinner. Hopped around to a couple of bars. Oh shit. Aaron man, what? That’s kind of fucked. You pursuing this other girl then?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron The boyfriend know? Yeah, she's looking at some venues this weekend. I know I shouldn't be mad but she hasn't made a move toward changing anything. This other girl is almost too good to be true. But she's a damn music star, big catch.

[niko blackwood]

N I K O I didn’t ask. It wasn’t a big deal though. We just friends. And she said she’s going to change things? Are you sure? You apparently can’t stay away from the musicians can you? But cool. You deserve that.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Gotcha. Not in those exact words but yeah, she knows what she has to do for us to be together. Guess not, or famous people. Try as I might. We'll see, I'm sure it won't be anything.

[niko blackwood]

N I K O That gotcha sounds very..judgey! And she does want to be together? I’m surprised you haven’t said her name? Or are you keeping it a secret?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Like I got any room to judge. Swear I'm not. I think so. Thought so. I'm all turned around with this wedding shit now. I figure I just talk about my girl problems too much. It's Lily Mccarthy.
