Chapter 34

Charlotte: I tossed a whole silver dollar in the fountain at Lincoln Center today, making a wish for your meeting.

Truly: Whoa. Big spender.

Charlotte: Dreams are more likely to come true if you pony up for wishes, right?

Truly: Absolutely. Imma go toss my gold bars into the fountain right now. Be right back.

Charlotte: Anyway, just texting to wish you luck. You don’t need it, but I’m required to wish it anyway. It’s going to be fabulous. Will you let me know how it goes?

Truly: Of course. And thanks for the intro in the first place. I wouldn’t have this shot if it weren’t for you. Dinner is on me, well, basically forever.

Charlotte: Nah, that’s crazy. I was happy to hook you up.

Truly: Hey, I wanted to tell you something.

Charlotte: *perks up * *presses ear to phone* *waits with bated breath*

Truly: *deep breath* Jason and I made it back to the friend zone. We’ve been helping each other all week, and it’s worked really well. No more slips.

Charlotte: Ohhh. Congrats, I think.

Truly: Yeah, congrats, I think too.

Charlotte: And is that what you really want?

Truly: What I really want is irrelevant. This is what makes sense. And I’m fine with it. I mean it. I’m totally fine with everything.

Charlotte: Well, I’m here in case you’re ever not.
