I fucking hate your answering machine.

Is it my email?

audio;

[justcrywolf]

You sound like a push-over. Listen to mine one day.

audio;

[downplaying]

There's no need. You always answer your phone.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

There's a lesson in that too, darling.

audio;

[downplaying]

I'm man enough that I can't talk on the phone and work at the same time. Today I prioritised working.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

Lovely. What's for dinner?

audio;

[downplaying]

Are you asking me, wanting my opinion or asking me, wanting affirmation?

audio;

[justcrywolf]

Whichever you prefer.

audio;

[downplaying]

Well, in my opinion, we should have French onion soup.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

If French cuisine ever gets banned, you're in deep shit.

audio;

[downplaying]

But who in the world would ever be enough of an idiot to ban French cuisine?

audio;

[justcrywolf]

I can think of a few.

audio;

[downplaying]

You associate with all the worst examples of human kind, love.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

Feeling right at home, thank you. I'll buy the onions.

audio;

[downplaying]

We need baguette as well.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

What the fuck. What more do we need?

audio;

[downplaying]

Cheese.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

... Claude.

audio;

[downplaying]

I know. The cheese-monger is just down the street from us, I'll go get it myself.

It was worth a shot, though.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

Oh no. Exercise.

audio;

[downplaying]

I have a deadline I need to make. Exercise is secondary.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

Shit, that's terrible. Anyway, I'm getting the cheese. And everything else, probably.

audio;

[downplaying]

This is why I didn't mind registering my name next to yours on an official piece of paper.

audio;

[justcrywolf]

I thought that was about sex.
