(author's note: Jesse and Eve will be texting a lot through the story. Jesse's texts will be bolded like in the last chapter, Eve's will be bolded with ~ around the text to differentiate. so her texts will look like ~this~ )

     Eve replied 5 hours after I sent the text in the coffee shop.

     ~This is Eve. Just finished my shift. Do you seriously hate love songs?~

     My day was great, thanks for asking. How was the rest of your shift giving the masses their caffeine fix? Yes, I do.

     ~I survived. How do you hate it? I asked my coworkers between rushes and they all say love songs make them happy and yknow some have a great rhythm to dance to so what’s not to like?~

     I just don’t think any of it’s true.

    ~I could argue with you on that for ages but even if it’s not true, you can still enjoy it.~

     I know most people can, but I just get annoyed.

     ~I bet I could find a love song you don’t hate.~

     Good luck with that.

     ~Tell you what, I’m going to try to find a love song you’ll like. Everyone deserves a little love in their lives.~

     I feel like this is the beginning to a very long and very annoying friendship.

     ~So we’re friends?~
