Dotty and Lex cooldown after a day together.
Lex: Hey, you okay?
Dotty: Why you ask?
Lex: You're kind of just staring off into the distance.
Dotty: Just a little lost in thought. Kind of emotionally weird right now.
Lex: I feel you. Anything got you feeling like this?
Dotty: It's pretty silly.
Lex: Tell me anyway.
Dotty: Today's just been super good, and I don't really want that to end you know?
Lex: I get that. Like....
Dotty: Like, I wanna just stay up all night and stuff. I wanna keep doing this and not have to worry about work the next day. Things have been hectic for a good while with work and life and.... I don't know.
Lex: I feel like that all the time honestly. It's been a bit since we've really had a good day to hang out like this.
Dotty: Yeah.
Lex: We really gotta make more time for this sort of thing. Haven't been as good at that lately.
Dotty: We do. I think that's something I need right now.
Lex: I'm sorry I haven't really prompted a lot of it.
Dotty: I mean to be fair a lot of the time I end up being too busy or tired from work so like..
It's on both of us.
Lex: Still. I could help out too.
Dotty: This is something we both gotta do and get better at together.
Lex: Yeah. Like... yeah.
Dotty: Speaking of, I've got another thought floating around lately but...
Lex: Go ahead.
Dotty: I guess a worry is that we won't always be like this, but that feels super silly at this
point.
Lex: I mean... I wanna stick around as long as things allow it you know?
Dotty: I know.
Lex: Like.... I can't really imagine anything else to be honest.
Dotty: Mm...
Lex: Is there anything that'd help you feel better about that though?
Dotty: Maybe... it's kind of a big thing to ask though.
Lex: Like really big?
Dotty: No, but it's still big enough that I'd get it if you said no.
Lex: Okay, what is it?
Dotty: I wanna move in together.
Lex: Like, now? I mean the answer is yes, but uh... who's place? Because I don't have the space and I don't think you do either?
Dotty: That's the big thing too, we'd be looking for a new home together. It'd be a bit of a process but-
Lex: I'm down. As soon as the weekend hits let's start looking.
Dotty: You're sure?
Lex: You don't think it's been on my mind too? Absolutely.
Dotty: Good! I mean good. We'll start planning. I wanna do this as soon as we can.
Lex: Can't promise you it'll happen fast, but we'll make it happen for sure.
Dotty: Thank you, that's such a big thing for me so I'm really glad you're up for this.
Lex: Of course, I'm kind of surprised we haven't done this earlier honestly.
Dotty: You never said anything and I didn't wanna push you!
Lex: I didn't want to pressure you either!
Dotty: God, we're both fucking dumb.
Lex: Yeah, but we're dumb together right? That's something special.
Dotty: Really special. Seriously, thank you...
Lex: It's no big deal.
Dotty: You're really the best, you know?
Lex: Wouldn't give me that much praise.
Dotty: You are!
Lex: I'll take that though, just this once.
Dotty: Why you ask?
Lex: You're kind of just staring off into the distance.
