10:03 a.m.

Aaron: Morning

Ruby: Morning

Aaron: Feeling any better?

Ruby: No. I just took my temperature and it’s back up to 101 again.

Aaron: Take some aspirin

Ruby: Already did. I found the bottle on the nightstand next to the thermometer.

Ruby: Thank you for that.

Aaron: :]

Aaron: I touched your face before I left and thought you were feeling warm. Go to the doctor.

Ruby: I know. I should. I don’t want you getting sick too.

Ruby: I told Jasmine I was sick and she immediately asked if I was pregnant. Why is that her first assumption every time?

Aaron: Because she’s Jasmine.

Ruby: Lol. You’re so right.

Ruby: Speaking of her, we got into a fight at the end about her wanting to switch to pairs skating.

Aaron: How’d that go?

Ruby: Fine. I think I still catch her off guard when I talk back to her, so it makes me feel like I win when she doesn’t have a comeback immediately. We’ll see what she decides. You know how she is.

Ruby: Going to shower and see if that makes me feel any better. I’ll call the doctor after and see if I can go.

Aaron: OK.

Aaron: Call if you need anything.

1:15 p.m.

Ruby: Guess what?

Aaron: What?

Ruby: It’s not the flu, just an upper respiratory infection.

Aaron: They gave you meds?

Ruby: Yes.

Aaron: Sorry, honey

Aaron: Want me to pick up your script on the way home?

Ruby: It’s okay. I’m already at the pharmacy waiting.

Ruby: The doctor made sure to tell me three times that my birth control won’t be as effective while I’m on antibiotics.

Aaron: Did you tell him we’d planned on you not taking them anymore after your next period?

Ruby: Yes. It was so awkward. It was like he was pretending he didn’t hear me.

Aaron: Lol. It’s that cute, innocent face.

Ruby: :)

Ruby: How’s your day going anyway?

Aaron: Fine.

Aaron: My CO is in a shit mood

Ruby: Sorry. One more year and then you can rethink what you want to do again.

Aaron: :] only a year

Ruby: It’ll go by fast.

Aaron: :]

2:55 p.m.

Ruby: [picture attachment]

Aaron: [picture attachment]

Ruby: What is that???

Aaron: Tacos from a new food truck in town

Ruby: Bring me some, those make my sandwich look like crap.

Aaron: Snooze you lose

Aaron: Come have lunch with me tomorrow

Aaron: If you’re feeling better

Ruby: “if you’re feeling better”

Ruby: ……

Aaron: :] love you

Ruby: Yeah, sure.

Ruby: Love you too, but I’d love you more if you brought me tacos

4:50 p.m.

Aaron: What are we having for dinner?

Ruby: Whatever you decide to bring home.

Aaron: That’s what I thought

Aaron: Vietnamese?

Ruby: Yes please.

Aaron: OK

Aaron: Are you lying down?

Ruby: Yes. I tried cutting some bandanas for that big order to Canada I got but I cut myself because I wasn’t paying attention, then I started worrying about contaminating the cloth and getting other people sick so I stopped.

Aaron: Jesus, RC

Aaron: Chill

Aaron: You’ll catch up on everything. Worry about feeling better. That’s all that matters

Ruby: You’re the best, have I told you that today?

Aaron: I know

Aaron: Not today.

Ruby: Cocky

Aaron: You’ve never complained.

Ruby: I knew you were going to go there.

Aaron: :]

Ruby: Why don’t skeletons watch scary movies?

Aaron: Because they don’t have the guts

Ruby: You knew that one???

Aaron: I GUESSED

Ruby: Bye

Aaron: I got a tear in my eye

Ruby: ….

Aaron: ….

Aaron: Leaving here in a sec, Ruron.

Ruby: Okay, Ruron.

Aaron: Think of a better joke before I get home.

Aaron: Meant to tell you that you might as well throw away your pills now that I think about it.

Ruby: You’re a real bossy pain in the you know what.

Aaron: I know.

Ruby: And I’m sick.

Aaron: So? I’m not scared of a little infection.

Ruby: Oh brother.

Ruby: I’m feeling bad but not that bad.

Ruby: But if you get sick don’t blame me.

Aaron: Never

Ruby: :)

Aaron: :]
