Scenario: Tyler is in Virginia stuck in traffic. Marissa is on the train going to work. She sends him a text telling him “Good morning” with a smiley face after it.

Marissa: Your response to my texts are always so.....open to interpretation.

Tyler: What do you mean?

Marissa: Like the one I got this morning and you ended it by saying "Love T". I was expecting
just a “Good morning” back.Clarify that for me. What kinda love we talking bout here?

Tyler: It can be interpreted in many ways. Depending on how YOU feel about the text. I thought it was sweet that you texted me this morning. So I responded how I felt at the time. It fitted well against the chaos I was going through battling traffic this morning to go to the training camp. What do YOU think the text meant?

Marissa *rolls eyes and types back*: To me it meant you were saying "Hey, good morning to you too. You've still got a special place in my heart. And even though I've moved on you still have some importance in my life." I could be interpreting it wrong, but you did ask me what the text meant to me.

Tyler: Exactly!

Marissa: *grins* I'm good at interpretation.

Tyler:Except for the part: “…even though I've moved on.” We still have unfinished business that needs to be tended to.

Marissa: Oh oh. Is this the part where I grasp onto my good friend Denial and pretend we never had this conversation?

Tyler: Does that work for you?

Marissa: Not really...but it helps me to get through the day.

Marissa: Plus, according to Bryan I’m supposed to be staying away from you as you’re not good for my emotional health on account of you’re unstable.

Tyler: Oh really? And here I was thinking I was such a nice guy. Or is it just parts of me you find nice?

Marissa: *no response*

Marissa: *closes phone*

Marissa: *wonders why she lets Tyler bait her all the time*

Tyler: *grins at phone and closes it*
