“You look exhausted.”
“Oh, thanks for that. I can feel the love in those words. Next thing you are going to say is that I look old.”
“Well, I wasn’t going to but it’s true that you’ve got more wrinkles now.”
“Glad I can always count on your honesty to keep things real.”
“You knew what you signed up for.”
“I signed up for you pointing out that I look tired and old?”
“No, you signed up for a life full of cheeky honesty.”
“I’ll concede that I knew that, yes. And since you are right and I am tired, would you mind giving me a massage?”
“I knew I signed up for that.”
“You don’t have to. I know you are tired as well, I don’t want to put you out.”
“Put me out? What are you babbling about?”
“Well, it’s an effort I am asking of you.”
“Touching your skin is never an effort.”
“More cheeky honesty.”
“Not this time. This was honesty pure and simple.”
