I got Winston's gift today 🥺 uwu.
You didn't have to.
I'm his coparent.
Wasn't this pricey? Gah, I'll definitely send over some food and dessert.
It wasn't. It's okay, you don't owe me anything.
☹️ Lemme compensate, pls. He really likes the treats and dog toy.
It's fine.
Connnnnoooor.
You're the best. I'll definitely send you pics of him with his goodies.
Is he enjoying his birthday?
Yes. I picked up this really fancy dog cake for him. They even put his name on it. And I got him a party hat.
Sounds fun.
I was going to invite those friends that came over, but they all have plans for Valentine's anyways. That, and I'd love to just spend today with him. Celebrate our singleness together.
Have fun. And send my wishes.
Will do! I'll definitely send you pictures.

Neil sent 23 photos.
Cute.
He looks so precious.
The pictures don't do it justice though. Wish you could see him in person, his little party hat is just the cutest thing ever.
Sorry, I know you're allergic to dogs. And to people too I guess.
I appreciate the pictures. I don't dislike dogs.
Good, your son loves you too. Co-son? Adopted son? Idk what you'd call him, but you know what I mean, co-parent 😉

Looks like Winston really wanted to pay a visit.
Oh, no. :( I'm not home.
You left him outside?
The door must've been open. Escaped through the doggy door.
A real escape artist on your hands.
Yes! Gosh, I'm stuck at work for another hour☹️
If it doesn't trouble you, could you just watch him? I'll try to get out of work early. You can keep him in your yard.
Sorry co-parent.
Has he eaten?
I fed him lunch? Before I left.
Would he eat sausage?
You don't have to feed him. I'm already asking too much by having you watch him, when I promised to fix the hole.
It's fine. Sausage?
Maybe just a little.
Thanks🙏 You're too kind.
He keeps staring at me through the back door.
🥺 Awww winstonnnn
If he scratches your door, just tell him leave it. He should stop then.
Okay.
Send pics plsss
Ok.

On my way home from work. Was he okay?
Yeah. I left a bowl of water.
You didn't have to sit out there with him.
He looked lonely. And he really does have a puppy dog face. Kept looking at me through the door.
☹️ I hope your allergies didn't act up.
It's okay now. I took some medicine.
Did you need anything while I'm out? I can pick up food. I already left the restaurant though.
I'm okay. Thanks.
I'll be there in like five.
Okay.
***
"Thank you so much again Connor."
"Yeah."
"And well, I know you don't like showing your face either, but thanks for looking out for him. And if you need allergy meds, let me know. Or food, whichever!"
"I'm fine."
"Well, come on Winston, you've spent enough time with your coparent. Let's stop bothering Connor. Might need to invest in an actual crate so you can't do this again."
"I don't mind. Winston is very cute, and well behaved. "
"Yeah, but he shouldn't be digging in your yard. And I should've secured the door better."
"I can forgive him. And you."
"Good. Night, Connor. Have fun writing."
"Good night, Neil."

You called me Neil 🥺
I did.
aww 🥰
?
It was your first time calling me by my name.
I said it when you were drunk.
Yeah, but I don't remember that 😩
But, yayyy first name basis.
Does that mean anything?
Of course! Means we're one step closer as coparents!
Ah.
And maybe friends?
Nevermind, pretend I didn't say that. 🙈
Just a silly thought.
Sure.
Really?
Yes.
Omggg. Thanks friend.🥳
I just don't do parties, or hanging out.
That's totally fine with me!
I don't expect you to do that. I like this neighbor friendship the way it is. As mysterious as it is.
And as nice as it would be to see you in person, I don't expect you to show me your face.
That sounds weird, but you know what I mean.
Thanks.
But for the record, I will be sharing that series I told you about with you. No excuses 😤
I'll drop off the first book tonight if you'd like.
Okay.
You have to tell me about what you thought. I can't wait.
Did you get the book you ordered?
YES.
😭
Was it sad?
No. Well, yes. I dunno. I peeked at the last page like I normally do and it scared me so I didn't read it yet.
I thought you were going to read it then?
I was! Normally I do, but it's going to hurt my feelings. I just know it.
What did it say?
🥺 don't make me read it again.
Oh, okay.
I saw the words "walking away" and "betrayal" and I don't wanna talk about it 😔🤚
Ah.
😩 I'm not looking forward to Oscar ripping my heart out. Not again. And then having to wait another year or two for the next one.
I see.
AND the next one is the finale! THE FINALLLEEE. I can't. I just can't.
The last book?
Yes. It's not looking good, unless Oscar brings them back together imma just...idk. Melt in a puddle? Become a shell of a human. Idek. I'm not ready 🥴
I thought you said the series has helped you? But if it makes you sad, isn't that bad?
☹️ It's so sad but I love them. The characters, Winston and Callum are so real and their struggles, gahhhhh. I can't help but want to just hug them tight to my chest.
Ah.
And yes, I named Winston after the MC. I mean how could I not? If I could adopt another dog, I'd totally name them Callum. I have no shame, those two have my heart.
I'm glad they make you happy? I guess.
If Oscar pulls a character death I think it would literally break me, but I wouldn't hate him for it. Knowing Oscar, he'd write it so beautifully that I'd want to die in that fashion too.
That's a bit...
Crazy? Yeah, I am 😤. But I swear, once you read the first book, you'll totally get it. Oh right, I'll drop that off now before I go to bed.
Feel free to read it whenever you have time, you probably have writing to do. So long as you bring it back, haha. I'd buy another crisp copy but its not the same without the annotations and highlights.
Okay. I'll read it asap.
Really? Okaayyy. I'm so excited. I'll finally have a friend to talk to about it, omg.
Make sure you text me all your reactions ✨
