Me: Harriet’s not very good at Cowardy Custard. She keeps falling asleep. Dave and I are winning every time.
Nell: You can’t both play against her.
Me: We’re taking it in turns.
Nell: Leave her alone. She’s tired.
Me: Chris has booked his flight. He arrives on 17th Jan and leaves on 22nd.
Nell: Wonderful.
Me: I can’t wait to see him.
Nell: It’s a new month. You need to share the link so people can buy you a cup of Earl Grey.
Me: Must I?
Nell: You write a conversation every day and we need the financial help.
Me: It does make a big difference.
Nell: People want to support your writing. Let them.
Me: It’s buymeacoffee.com/saramartin.
Nell: Good.
Me: Nice shawl, by the way. Is it new?
Nell: You know it is.
Me: Is it perhaps a Christmas present from a certain handsome wolf?
Nell: Yes. Rupert gave it to me.
Me: With a kiss?
Nell: Stop that right now.
Me: Just asking.
Nell: Well, don’t.
Me: We’re all so pleased you and Knitwear Wolf are finally officially an item.
Nell: An item?
Me: Together. A couple.
Nell: It’s early days.
Me: You’ve known each other for years.
Nell: Let us take our time.
Me: You’re right. I’m rushing ahead of myself. I can’t help it. I’m so pleased.
Nell: I know you are.
Me: I bet that lion is furious.
Nell: If you’re referring to Lionel King, I have no idea what he thinks. I haven’t seen him.
Me: Wasn’t he at The Cat’s Fancy Dress Ball?
Nell: No, when he heard I wasn’t attending he stayed on the island.
Me: So, he might not know about you and Knitwear Wolf?
Nell: It was just a kiss. Stop turning it into a three act play.
Me: Sorry.
