I dropped off some allergy meds by your door. Didn't knock in case you were sleeping. Again, sorry about everything. Hopefully these medicine help.
Although your lights are on, and you're probably working since it's nighttime.
I don't need them.
But, thanks. And yes, working.
How's your writing going? I won't ask what it's about, since you didn't like that.
And I don't think you'd say anyways.
It's going. And no, I wouldn't.
Good. Did you want food next time? I can bring home a plate from work.
I'm okay. Thanks, though.
That's what neighbors are for, am I right?
Okay, never mind.
Good night.

I'm like his coparent.
A what?
Coparent. For Winston. He lives in my yard a lot.
Ha. Would you like to be his coparent?
No. I don't wanna pay for his expenses.
I wouldn't make you anyways. Although his birthday is coming up, if you wanted to gift him something.
Just kidding.
Seriously, just a joke. You don't owe him or me anything.
Sorry, that was insensitive wasn't it?
Connor? ☹️
You celebrate his birthdays?
Of course. He's like my child. Wouldn't you if you had a dog?
No, I'm allergic.
Hypothetically?
Hypothetically, no.
Heartless bastard.
Kidding!
Just a joke, promise. 😅
But seriously, you wouldn't celebrate a pet's birthday?
No. You know his birth date?
Well, not exactly, but I adopted him nearly three years ago.
Not his birth date then.
Well, I guess not.
Adoption date.
Same thing. But yeah, I get him a dog-safe cake and we even have a party hat.
We?
Just I. Well, sometimes my friends come over to celebrate. But no, I live alone now if that's what you're asking.
I wasn't.
Oh.
Well, he really loves peanut butter treats. If you really want to pitch in, coparent.
Kidding.
Connor?
Sorry.
Maybe.
Maybe?
I don't like shopping. Or going out.
I was kidding, Connor. You don't have to.
When is it?
Huh?
His "birth date."
Oh.
Valentine's day.
Hmm.
Is it that weird?
Look, I got him then cuz I just broke up with my partner and it was my first Valentine's alone for a while.
So, I did what any depressed rejected college kid did and impulsed-adopted a dog for myself. Sure roses and chocolate were cheaper, but I gained a life long companion for only fifty bucks. Best fifty bucks I ever spent. Worth more than any cheap $10 heart-shaped box of chocolates could've brought me.
PLS don't judge me.
I'm not.
I can FEEL it through the messages. Alright? Sure it was an investment I probably shouldn't have taken, but I wouldn't trade Winston for the world. Even if it meant I found true love.
I'm not judging you.
You don't have to lie. I get it. I'm so irresponsible, I can't even patch a hole in my fence.
Not lying.
Yeah, right.
I'll order something.
What?
I'll order something. It should arrive on time.
Uhhh.
For Winston. Since I'm his coparent?
Really? You'll coparent?
I thought you said I was.
Well, you didn't agree.
I didn't disagree.
Touche. Well, thanks. Winston will love it. I'll bring some dessert over.
Human dessert.
Not dog-safe ones.
Obviously.
Unless you'd like to try it?
No, stop, Neil. What are you talking about.
I'll stop.
Okay.

Could I fancy you in some leftovers from the party?
The rowdy party I thought I told you to stop having?
...Maybe.
But I has food. As an apology, I can deliver it to you.
Not hungry.
Oh, come on. It's good food I brought from the restaurant I work at. It's still really good, just need to heat it up. People pay good money for this.
No.
☹️ Why not?
Connor.

Imma leave it at your door. Don't let it go to waste.

—Incoming Call—
"Connnnoor"
"Why are you calling?"
"You didn't answer my texts"
"It's nearly two in the morning."
"But you're up, why can't you text me back?"
"Working."
"Boooo, you're always working. I just wanna talk."
"Aren't your friends still there?"
"They left me. All by myself!"
"You have Winston there."
"It's not the same."
"Why do you want to talk to me?"
"I dunno. I'm lonely in my apartment and I miss people."
"You just had a party with your friends."
"And now I'm alone.
"How much did you drink?"
"Uhhhhh lots. I don't know. I can't count."
"You'll be fine on your own. You should sleep it off."
"Don't wanna. I wanna talk to you."
"I'm rather boring."
"No, no. Don't say that! I like talking to you. Even if it's mostly through text. And about my dog, or you complaining about me. And well, I don't know, it's fun to talk to your neighbors, you know? The old lady in 102 is deaf, so I can't really talk to her like I do with you."
"Your friends are more exciting."
"I kinda like the mystery. I haven't seen what you look like but I know a lot about you already. You write, is allergic to dogs, probably people too, to be honest."
"I guess so."
"And they're not really my friends."
"Hm?"
"They only really show up because of Winston, and my alcohol stash, and well..."
"Hello?"
"Mmmh...."
"Are you asleep?"
"No. Sorry, what was I saying?"
"That they're not your friends."
"Oh, right. Um, well, you see—I only really know them through my ex. They were his friends. When we broke up...he...he..."
"Neil?"
"Hmm."
"Get some rest."
"Ok Con Con."
"Night."
"Night night."
