Chapter 1
Day 1
Text Conversation
Charli: Oh, no, Drakens leaving me!
Rani: What are you talking about? That man would never leave you. He adores you, didnt he get you puppies?
Charli: Botface and Fluffball are cats and Im the one who got them. Draken just named them. And yes, he is leaving me!
Rani: What nonsense is this? Last week you guys were on the Seattle Instant home page, dancing at a wedding.
Charli: He has a conference in Chicago. He won some engineering award.
Rani: Whew, you actually had me worried for a moment.
Rani: Engineering? For ATS? What, did he invent a new parachute with that big, swollen brain of his?
Charli: No, its nothing to do with sporting goods. Its ATJ work.
Rani: His sex toy division? Youre fucking with me girl. They give out awards for that?
Charli: Sort of. Its the robotics behind it thats the big deal. Turns out making intelligent sex toys means you can make intelligent everything.
Rani: Hey thats cool. High five to your hubs.
Charli: Well, thanks, but how can you be so cheerful? Hes going out of town!!! Leaving me! For up to a week, ugh. I am not one of those pathetic women whose life loses meaning when her husband isnt around every moment of the day.
Charli: Am I??
Charli: OH MY GOD RANI HOW WILL I LIVE?
Rani: With your vibrator sweetiepie. You still have one, dont you?
Charli: Have one? I have like twenty-two. Have you met Draken?
Rani: Youll be fine, ha ha.
Charli: No I wont. Hes mad at me for something.
Rani: What?! Hes never mad at you. What is he mad about?
Charli: He gets mad sometimes. Sort of. You're right, though, he is wonderful. Sigh. I love him.
Rani: Ich, youre giving me cavities.
Charli: You sound just like Draken! He is wonderful Rani but I swear hes mad about something.
Charli: It's not the usual you-got-home-late-woman stuff. He's been moody and cryptic and doing his dragon-snarling face. I was gonna bring it up with him, but now he's going away!
Rani: Dont be so needy. Just ask him.
Charli: But that means well have a fight. I dont want to make him sad on the plane. Oh wait, I know what youre gonna say. Im his wife and I get to distract him because WIFE. Wife of big bad billionaire. Whos the most powerful gnomina of all the land? I am!!!
Rani: ROFL. You're too nice to that man. Lay down the law. Talk to him before he leaves.
Charli: Its too late, hes in the limo on the way to the airport.
Rani: Then text him, you dodobird.
Charli: I could. But um our texts are, you know.
Rani: No.
Charli: Sexy. Mushy. We dont talk about serious stuff in texts. I could email him though.
Rani: Ta-da, there you go.
Charli: But he's gone! What will I do without him, Rani? All the fun fizzles when hes not around. How will I handle him being in a whole nother city? For a whole week!!! And he said Im not allowed to do things.
Rani: What things?
Charli: Never mind.
Rani: What?
Charli: Never you mind. I said nothing.
Rani: OohI think I know
Charli: No you dont. Well maybe you do. *blush*
Rani: You guys are adorable. Haha. Humm, I need to get laid now.
Charli: Bye Rani. And you are SO LUCKY you can get laid. I MISS HIM AAARGH!
Meanwhile, over at another text conversation.
Matthew: As your wife suggested, Ive got my ringer set to say, The demon summons. Ready your soul. Im all set. You may text me if absolutely necessary, but be aware I plan to ignore you if I'm busy fucking and/or swimming and/or sunbathing.
Draken: Thanks.
Matthew: Boarding call soon. Sure you dont need me to come with you to Chicago? I could cancel my trip. Well both come. Fucking can happen anywhere, anywhere at all.
Draken: Fuck off.
Matthew: Still in a bad mood, are we?
Draken: Sorry.
Matthew: All is forgiven, cuz. Your pain is but a ripple on my pond. Peace.
Draken: What the hell are you on?
Matthew: Just enjoying the prospect of sun and sand with my best girl. Last chance before we board.
Draken: Im fine. I can do without you. Go.
Matthew: Charlis not with you?
Draken: No. I told you.
Matthew: And is that all thats making you weep?
Draken: Its enough. And Im not weeping, for fucks sake.
Matthew: I can see the tears between your texts. Youre weeping, cuz, youre weeping.
Draken: Fuck off.
Matthew: I believe this is where I came in. Say hi to Freckles from both of us.
Draken: Dont call her that.
Matthew: Why? Does it hurt your dick? Your sad, weepy dick. Now Im starting to weep for you.
Draken: Have a good trip and leave me the fuck alone.
Matthew: You too bro.
Chapter 2
Email Conversation
FROM: Charli Almatto
TO: Draken Almatto
SUBJECT: I'm Glad You Won and All
Mr. Almatto/Husband of Mine/Cant Decide What to Call You Today,
You didnt call when your plane landed, is something wrong?? Something is wrong, isnt it?
OK, listen, I may have started giggling hysterically when you told me about your trophy, but really, you know Im glad about it, truly. I totally get what an honor it is and that it helps bring in research dollars. You get that, right?
Im not being an insecure wife, Im not!! I just want to make absolute positive sure you understood why I couldnt fly out with you. Its nothing to do with that innocent conversation we had the other day.
That ENTIRELY CIVIL conversation. I know what you thought but I am not sulking! I am not trying to sneakily punish you for not wanting babies! You know I want to wait just as much as you do. Were still really young and its a big step to take and weve only been married oh my God is it that long already? Anyway Im not ACTUALLY biologically ticking in my clock, really, it was just that I was speaking hypothetically, in case, you know, one day it happens.
It was solely the bad timing, Mr. Almatto. Your awards ceremony is right in the middle of term, you know that. You remember what happened last time I missed class. The instructor was all like do you not find radiology relevant, do you think Im teaching students how to read anatomy scans because I have nothing better to do, do you think I should buy one of your illustrious husbands space age gadgets and set up a remote imaging lab for you while you traipse off to go scuba diving leaving the rest of us mere mortals to attend class? Is vet school boring for you?
I tried to tell him it was just that ONE TIME and this would also be a one-time thing, but I feel like I cant do it so soon again or my grade will suffer. Swear thats all it was.
