Janie I like being scarce. Business, didn't go for the MBA moved straight to LA instead. Aww, no sharing?

[antoni morales]

A N T You're like that weird religious sect that think photographs are a sin. Ah, that tracks. Not so far, but if you're down I'll broach it with him, see how it goes down.

[jane ridley]

Janie OK I have an Instagram, buddy. I'm not totally secluded. And here I thought you'd be the selfish type.

[antoni morales]

A N T Oh I know your Instagram. That bikini shot from 2022? No notes. You're right, am I that transparent? I'm playing louche and cool to try to impress you but I'm more intense than that, correct.

[jane ridley]

Janie He's done his homework. I could tell after Gov Ball - playing parts is only fun when we both agree to the roles!

[antoni morales]

A N T Had to see who Stas was pimping me out to, didn't I? Did you do yours or did you trust her judgment? Crazy that it was that long ago now.

Janie I may have skimmed, but your cousin knows how to extract a good time out of anything and anyone. She wouldn't have offered it otherwise. It seems like you've missed me ever since. Did you go on a spree where you fucked other girls who looked like me for a bit?

[antoni morales]

A N T She's surprisingly adept that way. There are more girls who look like you? Where would I find them? Hypothetically, of course...

[jane ridley]

Janie We all have our strengths. Is she having you spy on her essential boyfriend while you're at it at bodega? Clever. One could only dream, it's why you'd be so despaired with the substitutes.

[antoni morales]

A N T Oh fuck no, there's only so many "he's doing a stock check" "he's talking to other members of staff" "he's checking the door" texts I can send, the man never slips. You're actually not my usual type. Don't worry, I've started the process of shifting it.

[jane ridley]

Janie It's all very obsessive. What's your usual, what do you first look for?

[antoni morales]

A N T She's also there more than I am. Tattoos, I like an alt girl. You?

[jane ridley]

Janie Well wherever she is, I tend to be when I’m in town. Should have guessed. Physically I vary - dark hair, light eyes usually. But otherwise I look for whoever’s controlling the room and not being obnoxious about it.

[antoni morales]

A N T Very cute. I watched Charmed and Buffy at a formative age. If rumours are true, I can’t say I believe the obnoxious part.

[jane ridley]

Janie Very beneficial for you when I return to claim that regular status. Shannen was a wonder. Oh? And what’s the buzz?
