the bills were mine too. And the rent I had to pay. But in the five years I’d lived here, I’d never missed a payment. Despite my inability to find or keep a job that held my attention, I’d always managed to scrape by.
Lily
Seems unlikely. Perhaps if you mentioned a trust fund i might believe you. Or at least a crappy, cheap apartment.

“Only three things in this world can pull off the matching colour look. Gay people, Power Rangers, and Teletubbies.

“Not really by today’s standard, but I’d imagine back in the seventies in small-town Australia, yes. Anything sexual he writes is more poetic than erotic.”
Lily

Everything okay?” “Oh yeah, sure. Sure, why wouldn’t I be? I mean it doesn’t matter if you’re seeing someone. Why would it matter? It’s completely fine, and admittedly, all rather delusional that I would think you might have liked me. I mean, let’s be real. I’m not your type. I’m not anyone’s type, just between you and me. A little too loud and sunshiny for most people, which is cool. That’s just who I am; I won’t apologise. But I’m glad you’re wearing blue today. Summer periwinkle is a fabulous colour. I might go back to blue.”

Lily
Well all hail the long smouldering eye fuck

I had to get fresh linguine from the deli
Lily
I only know linguine as a pasta. Definitely not something id get fresh at a deli. Does linguine mean something else in Australia?
