Laney: Made you look.
Theo: Wouldn’t put it past you.
Laney: I look horrible. I will spare you.
Theo: Bet it’s not that bad.

Theo: I’m not going to lie. It’s bad. What are those pink splotches?
Laney: Supposed to help the itch. It’s not.
Theo: Poor baby.
Laney: Bet that’s not your type.
Pause…
Laney: I was just messing with you.
Theo: I think you’re beautiful.
Pause…
Theo: You there?
Laney: Yeah. I was wiping my tears away. You hit me when I was vulnerable. I feel so bad, and I guess that just got me a little emotional. This really hurts. Like bad, like oww.
Theo: I’m sorry you’re hurting.
Laney: Just a few more days, right?
Theo: Right.
Theo: You are, you know. Truly beautiful. I mean that.
Laney: Stop, you’re going to make me cry and itch.
Theo: Sorry.
Laney: No, you’re awesome. Really, thank you. I needed to hear that.
Theo: Anytime. So, more Rock of Love?
Laney: You don’t have to.
Theo: I want to.
Laney: You’re the best ever. Episode three?
Theo: On it.
Laney: Happy Halloween, Houseman. (pumpkin emoji)
Theo: Happy Halloween, Laney. (candy corn emoji)
Laney: Aww, you got me candy corn.
