Here am I to ask for my dose of Conrad and Fliss,please!
“Hey, so, maybe this is the wrong time or whatever, but considering ya boy just almost bit the big one, courtesy of Uncle Sam’s goofy gas, uh...wanna like, see a movie or something sometime? You know, if we like, survive this?”
“That’s a pretty big ‘if,’ don’t you think?” Fliss asked over her shoulder, lowering her head a moment later to watch her step...and maybe hide her smile. She carefully stepped over a hole in the ship’s rotting floor, offering a hand to help Conrad hop across as well.
He crossed the gap but didn’t let go of her hand, squeezing it a little tighter before pointing out, “That’s not really an answer, oh Captain, my Captain.”
Fliss snorted a laugh and gave his hand a playful swing, rolling her eyes his way as she said, “How about we focus on not dying first, yeah?”
