King: Come over?

LILA: Well hello King, it's nice to see you got home from your away game safely. Was slightly worried until I saw Jason at work.

LILA: Any reason why I haven't heard from you?

KING: Just been busy, La. And really interested in seeing what you wanted to show me the other night.

LILA: Noted. You've been busy. And you like me in lingerie. Any chance you'd wanna grab dinner first? I feel like I haven't seen or talked to you in a minute.

KING: Already ate. But saved room for dessert.

LILA: Well, when you put it that way… gonna grab a bite and then I'll be over.
