We're about to close this huge deal and my boss is just on my ass.
Don't be mad.
Okay? Happy anniversary, babe.
Don't forget to hydrate.
Do you really need an app to remind you to drink water? Work is so crazy lately, it's the only way I remember to hydrate.
This is exactly what I keep talking about.

Where are you going? You don't have time to vacuum, you don't have time to take care of a plant, and you don't have time to listen to me.
Woah, what are you so mad about? I think I think we need a break.
What? Christian I'm the one who asked you to move in with me, but you said no! There's no space for me here! If we move in together I want it to be our place.
A home that we build together.
We can have that.
No, we can't! Not when you barely pay attention to me when I'm right in front of you.
Ben, please.
Things are going to change really soon.
Honestly, Christian? What I need from you now is proof, not more words.
