Nai i have found two of your socks - but from different pairs? soo should i mail them to you or relinquish them to mango's toy chest?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Sorry, I must have been distracted. My gift to Mango for invading his space.

[naima bell]

Nai tossing them across the room as we speak! he will be thrilled. you're all settled back home?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R I am, actually back at my parents' place for my mom's birthday. Not as much fun as LA with you.

[naima bell]

Nai funn, what are you guys doing for her? it was great seeing you, i had a lot of fun. thank you for watching me play silent hill 2 for half a day.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Leon and I cooked, now we're watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. Tradition.  I had a good time too, especially then.

[naima bell]

Nai that's adorable. i hope it's the cheesiest, campiest kind. hallmark never misses. did you end up telling leon the truth?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R It is, she needs it to be the most cliche version possible. Big city girl leaving for her small town, you know the gist. No but he knows I was seeing a girl, it was obvious.

[naima bell]

Nai good taste. happy bday mama hawkins! did you two do a super bro-y celebration dance? i imagine that's what men do after getting laid.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Thank you, thank you. Haha, god no. He's just smirking at me, lots of nudging, guessing names.

[naima bell]

Nai did i ever tell you my thing for your last name? he's a goober. maybe don't tell him i said hi, haha.

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Are you a Stranger Things fan? I won't, but I'm pretty sure he's figured it out. He's trying to convince me not to meet up with my ex before I go home.

[naima bell]

Nai well, i'm not not a fan. but one of my favorite movies growing up was treasure planet. i was down bad for jim hawkins. you even kind of look like him if you had a rattail. did she reach out or is it just an inevitability?

[river hawkins]

R I V E R Such an underrated movie. Did you know it was the directors' passion project and they only got Disney to sign off on it by promising to do Hercules first? She knows my mom's birthday so she reached out.

[naima bell]

Nai yes! i'm so glad (and lowkey impressed) you know it, most people don't. it's still a fave. ahh. how are you feeling about it?
