Not, like, grafiti...

regarding this answer:
"6. Finding people to love. As in friends. Finding relationships to sustain me."
I know of someone you could love...and she is right here waiting for you. And it is me.

Remember how we wrote our numbers on coffe filters... well, after I talked to you, I left your number out and brian threw it away. Not because he doesn't like you, but because it was written on a coffee filter. So, I DO want to go, I have the days OFF, and Brian WILL be the best dad and take care of Lola. So, call me and we can finish making the plan.
