Wednesday 3rd October

(10.34)
Where are you?
(10.42)
Seriously. I'm /freezing/.
(10.43)
I'm doing my cold dance and people are staring!
(10.58)
I'm just going to keep on texting you until you reply, btw.
(10.59)
I have unlimited texts.
(10.59)
Hah!

(11.40)
Firstly, please don't unleash your unlimited texts upon me.
Secondly, I don't think I'm who you think I am.

(11.43)
Charlotte?

(11.46)
Not since I last checked.

(11.52)
I'm so sorry! Wrong number, ah God, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to clog your phone up, I'm really sorry. It's a new phone and I must have typed the number in wrong, sorry! I'm sorry.

(12.03)
It's fine – Please /stop/ apologising.

(12.05)
And don't say it…

(12.05)
Sorry!

Wednesday 11th October

(06.55)
I saw someone doing a cold dance, and it made me think of you.

(07.46)
Before 7am?! Really?

(07.53)
Five minutes.

(08.00)
Five minutes too soon!
(8.09)
and aren't you supposed to delete my number? Not store it for future reference.

(10.37)
I didn't 'store' your number, I just didn't delete the texts.
(10.39)
Neither have you – Otherwise you wouldn't have known who I was.

(10.42)
I /don't/ know who you are.

(10.47)
Details, details.

(10.49)

(11.08)
Too many punctuation marks – treat them like saffron.
(11.10)
I thought your unlimited texts could come in useful. It's 11.10 on a Wednesday.

(11.13)
What's 11.10 on a Wednesday?

(11.17)
My board meeting.

(11.23)
Now I just feel used…
(11.24)
But shouldn't you be concentrating?

(11.31)
Shouldn't you be concentrating on /your/ job?

(11.32)
… touché.

Wednesday 18th October

(11.00)
Will you be needing my assistance today, my lord?

(11.24)
Is this a thing now?

(11.29)
Is what a thing?

(11.36)
Wednesdays

(11.45)
It could be a thing

(12.31)
It's a stupid thing.

(12.34)
Woah, which side of the bed did you fall out of (probably freakishly early (7am(!))) this morning?

(12.43)
Sorry, it's been an awful day.
(12. 54)
I really didn't mean to take it out on you, I'm sorry.

(12.56)
Stop apologising. And am I the silver lining?

(12.59)
If you need the ego boost – why not?

(14.01)
You've been working on your opening comment all week, haven't you?

(14.12)
Shut up

Wednesday 18th October (cont.)

(17.23)
I've been working on my use of '!', too.

(17.45)
I noticed. I'm very impressed.

(21.34)
And thank you for earlier. It was just what I needed.

Friday 20th October

(18.17)
You need a name

(18.40)
What happened to Wednesdays?

(18.43)
Wednesdays are no fun

(18.49)
Funnily enough, I /have/ a name.

(18.51)
Well then… I need to know it.

(18.54)
Oh, really? You need to know it?
(18.55)
Isn't someone lively on Fridays?

(19.22)
D

(19.30)
And the rest of that sentence is coming when?

(19.32)
You may call me D. It's safer after all. You are still a, slightly too persistent, stranger.

(19.34)
I see how it is. You may call me B, then. After all, you are a "slightly too persistent stranger" too

(20.16)
Can I make up a name?
(20.17)
Something suave

(20.24)
You may call me whichever name you chose.

(20.31)
Colin.
(20.32)
I'll go with Colin

(20.34)
I'm vetoing that.

(20.35)
What! Why?
(20.35)
It's like Colin Firth.

(20.36)
That's /exactly/ why I'm vetoing it.
