(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : https://youtu.be/FahIhvFw4_s

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : The start of my bathtub time playlist. Not my usual fair, but I can get into it. Yeah, floaty. You always this good matching the music to the activity?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Not always. I'm not prone to overthinking, so mismatches happen.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : But usually, yeah. Natural talent.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Don't expect perfection. Effort + Talent will win points all the time with me. So what's the song you played the most after our car ride?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Listened to?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Listened to.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : You?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tEvfIsDyo

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Yeah.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : You speechless on me already, Cards, or are you just distracted watching Prince undress himself on repeat.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : You want clever or honest, Nine? Not sure I can be both in this very particular moment.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Take a cue from Prince. You don't have to give me clever every time. So give me honest.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Alright.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : When I think about that kiss, the whole world goes quiet. Everything around me, everything in my head. It all just stops, and I feel like I'm suspended there again, breath held, caught between your lips and the distance, ready to fall but caught.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : And I don't know what to say except yes.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : You sound like you haven't had that in a kiss before.. or at least vary rarely. And no, I don't mean that in an egotistical way (mostly). Genuinely curious.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : I could make comparisons. Pretty sure there are a couple others that quieted me. It's not impossible 😉

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : But neither were quiet like that.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : And neither ended there.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Neither still silenced me days later.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : I don't usually act so impulsively. Thought about how long it was going to take us to get back to Gray Harbor, and realized I wasn't going to wait that long.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : It didn't feel impulsive.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Wait.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : I mean there was a deliberateness to every single motion.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : It didn't feel hurried, rushed, frantic. Impatient. Not at all.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : It felt intentional.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Intentional once I decided to do it. I'd already thought about exactly what I wanted. I may not have a laundry list of wants, but once I figure out what one is? I'm not shy about getting it. And make sure it's the best.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Good.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : You're bringing music to scotch night. How many hours worth are you arriving with?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : How much attention am I gonna have to spare for it?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Song to song, I mean. Are you asking me for a playlist? 😉

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : You? Little. White noise. Bonus points for a couple that are slow dance worthy. However...

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : You are leaving it here when you go. So you gotta bank on the fact I'm going to listen to the shit out of it at some point.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Putting me to work.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Worth it.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : I know.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : I made something for you.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Yeah? What is that?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : LINK: comeforme.mp4 hosted on google drive, Sparrow drumming and singing with an instrumental track accompanying her.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Probably should've lead with that.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : No. Your timing was... brilliant. All right. When does your band normally get together?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : :blush:

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : There's not a lot of usual with us. Mondays or Wednesdays. Depending on schedules. Usually.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : And your texting me the next time you know you are getting together. How long do you normally practice?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Couple hours? Until we devolve into talking, drinking. Until someone says something about work.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : You want your own private show?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : That what you do afterwards? Drink and talk?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : I want to watch the band. And then I'm kidnapping you immediately after.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Yeah. Keep the fridge behind the bar well-stocked.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Kidnapping me, mm? I don't get a say in this?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : I'll let you say whatever you want.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : That's dangerous.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Lotta things I wanna say.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : I didn't say I'd do whatever you say. But it's your tongue that got you into this situation in the first place, so I don't see any reason to stop it now.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Is that what did it? You didn't get my tongue until Saturday.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : But I was nice and gave it back so you can keep using it. So one thing you want to say you haven't yet.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : That was very nice, yeah.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : (...)

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : I feel like you are typing and then backspacing a lot.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : You want me to answer your question or not?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Yes. Take however much time you need.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Makes me wanna make you wait even longer. Test that patience.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : But I know how to play nice.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : You're thrilling, Nine. You excite me in ways no one else ever has. I keep thinking maybe I should be terrified, but I just want more.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : As engaging as you are gorgeous. Maybe even more so.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : And it all feels so comfortable.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Pretty damn high praise. You know, I apply my same high standards to the company I keep. You still surpassed. Still plotting on kidnapping me in your car, sometime?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Yes.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : But Vancouver's an overnight thing. You need to give me the green light.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Just one night?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : At least. You tell me.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Pragmatic considerations on my end...

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Tuesdays and Thursdays are labs. Can't miss those. I fall behind too fast if I do.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Rest is flexible.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : All right. I'll let you know. My schedule is shit, especially just starting out. You need to think of one place you want to visit while we are up there. I have a couple. Maybe. Depends on when we can go.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Two last things before I have to head in to work.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Been a while since I let anyone coopt itinerary duty.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Yeah?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Good. Sounds like you are due to be co-opted, but my demands will be small. Most of the time will be yours to take wherever your heart desires. First. I'll say it again. You really are good at the chemistry thing. Not just the kiss. The ease of the whole fit. Hadn't expected it.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Second, I'm sending you one more song. Not about you. But for you. Taste of what I tend to listen to on my way in to work.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : More you. Just what I want <3

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : And I can't take full credit for the chemistry. You were the catalyst, Nine.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : I'm just doing what I do.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : This what you normally do?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Be generally amazing and stun brilliant, gorgeous men into unanticipated impatience?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Every chance I get.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : And not exactly Black Keys. Not even what I'd call typical blues... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0qrPVMoGPE

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule : Good. I look forward to the next time.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Scotch. I'm waiting. Patient as can be.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow : Night night, Nine. :kissing_heart:
