The Capricious Collection
“Hey.”
“...”
“You there?”
“Hey, yeah, I’m here.”
“Ah, alright. Just checking.”
“Music’s pretty nice, huh?”
“What?”
“Music. It’s pretty cool how it can just change your mood, right?”
“I… guess?”
“It’s like magic… Like I can’t not let my mood be swayed by a powerful tune.”
“Uh huh…”
“...”
“...”
“...”
“Did you say something?”
“Hm? Oh, no.”
“Ah, sorry. I thought you did. Your audio’s not great.”
“Ah, yeah, no, haha. I’m on my phone in bed right now. That was probably just my sheets rustling.”
“I see.”
“...”
“...”
“I’ll send you what I’m listening to.”
“Alright.”
“...”
“...”
“How do you like that one?”
“Mmn, it’s okay.”
“Mmn, only okay? How about this one?”
“...”
“...”
“I like this one better than the last one.”
“Right… So how was your day?”
“It was okay, I guess. You?”
“Oh… You know. It’s uh… It is what it is.”
“Ah, one of those days, huh?”
“Haha, one of those nights too, eh?”
“Yeah, I guess so…”
“Man… What should we talk about?”
“I don’t know…”
“You know, this is pretty nice.”
“Is it?”
“Ha, maybe not, but lying here right now…”
“Mhm?”
“When I just close my eyes shut and listen to your voice, it feels like we could be lying together on grassy countryside hills under a starry night, sharing a set of earbuds. You know?”
“...”
“...”
“Do you think it gets better?”
