Texting

-So what’s new?

-Virtual background of a sunset.

-That’s cool, I’ve got a new Zoom screen too.

-Still working from home?

-Seven months now.

-Saving money?

-You’d think. It’s all been sacrificed to Uber Eats and Prime like the proverbial lamb to slaughter, or is it a cow?

-Beats me. Netflix tonight?

-Last Dance, British Baking Show, Gossip Girl for the third time. You?

-Second re-watch of Criminal Minds.

-Did you get the money for your tickets back?

-The concert or Europe?

-Both?

-Yeah, but customer service is still a load of crap.

-Remember the last time we hung out?

-Brunch in the plaza two days before lockdown…

-Don’t forget what I look like or how my voice sounds.
