(TXT to Della) Jules : Hey I’m off. Went by coffee shop for bagel and saw miles btw

(TXT to Della) Jules : And raven who wanted to know why I wasn’t chasing bears already

(TXT to Jules) Della : Hi!

(TXT to Jules) Della : How was that?

(TXT to Della) Jules : Oh the road now. Voice to text.

(TXT to Della) Jules : It was fine. He seems like a nice guy.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Tell me you aren't driving... okay. I am expecting some pretty epic word substitutions.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Don't disappoint me, phone.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Tell me more!

(TXT to Della) Jules : Also told Raven not to give out my number

(TXT to Della) Jules : What do you want to know? I wasn’t there long

(TXT to Jules) Della : I hope he isn't giving out numbers to anyone!

(TXT to Della) Jules : In fact he gave out his number to everyone

(TXT to Della) Jules : Oh wait you mean raven I meant miles

(TXT to Jules) Della : IDK. Whatever there is to know. I'm at home today, I need to live vicariously.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Myles gave his number to everyone. Check.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Apparently miles is getting a lot of shit for being black. Which sucks. Also not surprising I guess

(TXT to Jules) Della : Yes. Yes on both counts.

(TXT to Jules) Della : When I type Ravn or Myles do they sound like the bird and like units of distance, or does the translator garble it up?

(TXT to Della) Jules : I said sorry for staring at him yesterday

(TXT to Della) Jules : Like the bird

(TXT to Jules) Della : Aww. Good for you.

(TXT to Jules) Della : That's good.

(TXT to Della) Jules : He was cool about it

(TXT to Jules) Della : Good guy then.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Thanks for being there yesterday btw

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah

(TXT to Jules) Della : Hopefully he isn't cool with it because he feels like he has to be; I hate feeling that way... Welcome! Glad to be!

(TXT to Della) Jules : No I think it was real

(TXT to Jules) Della : Good, good.

(TXT to Della) Jules : I didn’t do anything too stupid yesterday did I?

(TXT to Jules) Della : (I had to go back and put a comma in that one because I was typing like texting on the phone to match, ha. Maybe I won't correct it next time.)

(TXT to Jules) Della : No, of course not. You were great. You're great!

(TXT to Jules) Della : What were you worrying about?

(TXT to Della) Jules : So are you!

(TXT to Della) Jules : I don’t know. Just being dumb?

(TXT to Della) Jules : I haven’t smoked in about a year

(TXT to Jules) Della : It was so relaxing.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah. Good

(TXT to Jules) Della : Sometimes it's nice not to have to ... watch everything so much.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah

(TXT to Jules) Della : And be that way somewhere where Future Me (can you hear the capitalization?) won't mind.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Can’t hear capitalization no. Definitely depends who you’re with I think

(TXT to Jules) Della : Yeah.

(TXT to Della) Jules : I meant to watch myself. More with telling you about meek array but now you know

(TXT to Della) Jules : Still don’t want to make a big deal about it

(TXT to Jules) Della : Now I know. You know I know. You know I know there is something to know. No no no. ... That last was the N O version.

(TXT to Jules) Della : We aren't making a big deal about it. I agree.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Haha thanks for the clarification

(TXT to Jules) Della : Now I'm going to type his name so you can hear how garbled it gets: Mikaere.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Cool.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Did it sound funny?

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah very

(TXT to Jules) Della : Meek Array. Is that better?

(TXT to Della) Jules : But just wanted to say that’s why I didn’t tell you. Not trying to hide anything but you know how people can talk

(TXT to Della) Jules : Kind of but it’s wrong both ways

(TXT to Jules) Della : Yes.

(TXT to Jules) Della : "Aww Jules, aren't you guys cute together!!!" That is with three exclamation points and quote marks. People can be like that.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Haha yeah. And instead it’s like no. We just ate some fish and sat on his boat for awhile.

(TXT to Jules) Della : That sounds nice. Hanging out.

(TXT to Della) Jules : And who knows if we’ll do it again

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah it was. He’s a good person to talk to

(TXT to Jules) Della : We'll see if you want to when you get back.

(TXT to Jules) Della : If you don't mind fish breath, that is a good sign.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah or if he wants ro

(TXT to Della) Jules : Lol

(TXT to Della) Jules : You forget I dated a fisherman

(TXT to Della) Jules : Or did I ever tell you that?

(TXT to Jules) Della : Is that your ex?

(TXT to Jules) Della : Just because you catch fish doesn't have to mean you eat them.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah. He was a commercial fisherman. Spent a lot of time at sea and up in Alaska

(TXT to Jules) Della : So away a lot. 🙁

(TXT to Della) Jules : Well when you catch fish you tend to eat it all the time too

(TXT to Jules) Della : That was a sad face emoji. I don't know how the phone translated it.

(TXT to Jules) Della : There is a joke there.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah. Which was okay except for the part where he was also dating a woman in Alaska. While I was living in his house here

(TXT to Jules) Della : Seriously???

(TXT to Della) Jules : It literally said sad face emoji

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah

(TXT to Jules) Della : Ha!

(TXT to Jules) Della : Ha for the emoji, not for him ... for that.

(TXT to Della) Jules : People knew about it too. Because people talk like I said. But no one told me

(TXT to Jules) Della : That sucks. They should have had your back.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Yeah. That’s why I left and came here

(TXT to Jules) Della : Good for you.

(TXT to Della) Jules : I don’t talk to a lot of people from back home right now

(TXT to Jules) Della : Your grandparents didn't know, right?

(TXT to Della) Jules : No of course not!

(TXT to Jules) Della : Just wanted to make sure.

(TXT to Della) Jules : But his friends did and we all hung out

(TXT to Della) Jules : It was ducking humiliating

(TXT to Jules) Della : That is awful. Really really awful.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Did they ever say why?!

(TXT to Della) Jules : Not really. Didn’t want to get in the middle of it I guess. Someone eventually said something and you can imagine how pissed I was. That’s when I did fire the first time

(TXT to Jules) Della : Wow.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Probably because I said he can go die in a fire or something

(TXT to Jules) Della : Ha. I mean, maybe I shouldn't laugh but I'm going to. Since he didn't, did he?

(TXT to Della) Jules : Anyway...I just don’t want any rumors

(TXT to Della) Jules : No he’s alive and his house didn’t burn down either

(TXT to Jules) Della : You say that like it could have happened.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Who the duck knows when fire is responding to you and you’re angry

(TXT to Jules) Della : I wish I knew.

(TXT to Jules) Della : I mean, I can imagine.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Probably a good thing I was on a beach

(TXT to Jules) Della : Marshmallows?

(TXT to Della) Jules : Marshmallows on fire

(TXT to Della) Jules : How did you split up with your ex?

(TXT to Della) Jules : Is it ok that I asked that? You don’t have to answer

(TXT to Jules) Della : It's okay.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Give me a minute, I'm thinking what to say.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Okay

(TXT to Jules) Della : I broke a promise.

(TXT to Jules) Della : I promised her something that I thought I could give her and then I couldn't. Wouldn't.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Did you cheat?

(TXT to Jules) Della : No, it wasn't like that.

(TXT to Jules) Della : We were going to have a baby.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Oh!

(TXT to Della) Jules : That’s a big deal

(TXT to Della) Jules : I’m really sorry. That sounds hard

(TXT to Jules) Della : Thanks. It was.

(TXT to Jules) Della : She got most of our friends in the divorce, ha ha.

(TXT to Della) Jules : And not like you can just set things on fire hard

(TXT to Jules) Della : No. Though I did have a dream last night with a capital D.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Well you got us

(TXT to Della) Jules : Oh yeah?

(TXT to Jules) Della : 🙂 Smiley face emoji.

(TXT to Jules) Della : For having you guys.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Same here for me

(TXT to Jules) Della : And now you have something I don't want to have spread around either. I don't think it's a skeleton in my closet but it's personal.

(TXT to Della) Jules : I won’t say a word

(TXT to Jules) Della : Thanks. It's funny, you're the first person here who's actually asked.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Really? I guess people don’t want to be nosy about stuff that isn’t their business

(TXT to Jules) Della : Ha ha ha ha. Maybe, but I doubt it.

(TXT to Della) Jules : By the way my cell service is getting spotty but quick tell me about your dream

(TXT to Jules) Della : If you date Meek Array again, you won't keep that in the closet, will you? The closet is hard.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Okay.

(TXT to Della) Jules : If I date him or go on a date? Those are two different things

(TXT to Della) Jules : I don’t want everyone to know my business if I’ve just gone on a couple dates

(TXT to Jules) Della : Did you read Alice in Wonderland, or watch or whatever?

(TXT to Della) Jules : Watched it

(TXT to Jules) Della : Sure. But not, like, going to a different town so no one will see you together, or anything.

(TXT to Della) Jules : No that’s dumb

(TXT to Jules) Della : So it was from that, and I think Ava and Ariadne were in there too. Ava was this badass sorceress and Ariadne was a bard with a kazoo, seriously.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Good!!

(TXT to Della) Jules : Weird. What happened?

(TXT to Jules) Della : The king sent us on a mission to "Kill the Beast!" Imagine me saying that like from Beauty and the Beast.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Also by the way I don’t care if you tell Una since you already know. Don’t want to keep secrets from one housemate and it’s weird if one of you knows but the other doesn’t

(TXT to Jules) Della : Except when we got there we found a bunch of beasts, and one had its head chopped off but was still alive and could talk in people's heads, and we talked, and Ava tried to grow the beast's head back and did grow the beast's head back except it turned into a mean beast instead of a sort of sulky one and attacked us.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Ha! Did you kill it?

(TXT to Jules) Della : No, but then we pulled together and stopped it, or slowed it down, and that's when we disappeared like the villagers did, except we woke up. And I had the bridle of a goat-creature (we were riding goat-creatures) in my hand.

(TXT to Jules) Della : Maybe I could tell her that we were texting and you told me you went on a date with Meek Array and that I could tell her too but not tell anyone else? Would that be okay? It's true.

(TXT to Della) Jules : That’s kind of cool

(TXT to Della) Jules : That’s fine

(TXT to Jules) Della : I'll do that.

(TXT to Jules) Della : I'm glad you think of people feeling left out.

(TXT to Della) Jules : And I don’t know if I’m seeing him again and it’s not a big deal so I don’t want people to gossip etc etc

(TXT to Jules) Della : I still don't want to tell her about the divorce things exactly yet. I mean, if it comes up that's one thing but I don't want to have to tell her because I told you, you know?

(TXT to Jules) Della : Right, that too.

(TXT to Jules) Della : I would tell her. I just want it to be natural.

(TXT to Jules) Della : If she asked.

(TXT to Della) Jules : That makes sense. It’s your story and you get to decide when you tell it

(TXT to Jules) Della : Thanks. Yes.

(TXT to Della) Jules : Of course!

(TXT to Della) Jules : Okay I’m almost here!

(TXT to Della) Jules : Will do my check in text tonight

(TXT to Jules) Della : One more thing! Finally I did something!

(TXT to Della) Jules : What did you do?

(TXT to Jules) Della : But it can wait until tonight. 😉 That is a wink smiley. Have fun! Be safe! Go wild!

(TXT to Della) Jules : Bye!
