Chloe Bouchard Forgive me, sir, but why do you actually want more of them?
Chloe Bouchard Aren't they usually just a little bit disturbing as a rule?

ANTHONY CARTER That's an excellent question
ANTHONY CARTER Yes and no
ANTHONY CARTER As a modern individual with a personal life they're kind of a nightmare
ANTHONY CARTER But as an adventurer on a brave new front they could lead us to many new discoveries
ANTHONY CARTER Also I'm hardly inclined to turn down a daytime soap with production values this high streamed directly to my brain

Chloe Bouchard Well, I have to admit that is one way to think about it.
Chloe Bouchard They linger in my mind too much, but you could treat it like entertainment, could you not?
Chloe Bouchard Like your own personal spy thriller, or the like.
Chloe Bouchard Unfortunately, it's not very easy to be sure how to do it.
Chloe Bouchard It never works when I've tried to force it.

Anthony Carter Not saying I'm having much success myself. But it's all fun and games until someone develops schizophrenia.
Anthony Carter So you've had some memories then?

Chloe Bouchard Several hallucinations, which I still refuse to call memories.
Chloe Bouchard They're not as disturbing as some, but they are disturbing.
Chloe Bouchard What would you like to know about them?
Chloe Bouchard I may reserve the right to keep a bit of this to myself, though.

ANTHONY CARTER Hallucinations, memories. Bit of a grey area there
ANTHONY CARTER But alright, Miss Bouchard
ANTHONY CARTER Meet you at your place of work, just give me a date and time and we can get coffee or whatever questionable sugar overdose you patronize at Starbucks
ANTHONY CARTER Remind me to give you my personal number later, by the way. Don't think you have that

Chloe Bouchard A bit, yes.
Chloe Bouchard We can meet at Enchanted Blossoms yet, and I'll send directions if you need them.
Chloe Bouchard As for date and time, I would say that now that we are normal sized, any time in general during the lunch hour would be convenient.

Anthony Carter Meet you at 12:30
Anthony Carter Consider it on me

[And he will be there at 12:30 on the dot, black Lamborghini parked on the street behind him.]

[She slid out of Enchanted Blossom only to find his car waiting. Well, that was a thing, wasn't it? Those were insanely expensive. The lives of the rich and powerful, not the sort of jet setting she expected to ever live.

Walking up, she smiled to him, clearing her throat to get his attention.] You certainly do make a bit of an entrance, do you not sir?

If they can't see you coming they won't know to get out of the way, that's my motto. I'm joking. But the parking meter is ticking.

[He indicates for her to proceed down the sidewalk towards the nearest coffee shop because coffee shops are inescapable. Fact of life. They've got one's location triangulated at all times, no ifs, ands or buts.]

How's the flower shop doing? Summer's your big...season. Just ignore the pun.

Mmmm, so I see. [She chuckled a little and followed in the direction of the ubiquitous coffee shop. In this part of town, they really were very hard to miss. She knew a few that she rather liked here, some because of who worked there.] It certainly does work to make an impression.

We are doing well. The valentines and mother's day seasons are always quite busy. It will slow a little for June. Father's day, not so big for flowers, no?
