LOCKDOWN DIARY

 

Do you get to see your friends much?

AMBER: Never. (She shakes her head) They seldom text anymore.

MAXIE: They are frienemies I might add. (He gives her a look as if she should admit it)

AMBER: I knew them from school. (she nods) I don't think they were real friends. You know, the kind to tell you how far they've come and what kind of home they have. (She tries to smile but it's not a real one.) I'd like to know how they are doing. Honestly, it would be nice to keep in touch. I don't think I'm all that good friendships, anymore. Damn, pandemic.

MAXIE: Right, so right, luv. (He lets a slight sigh) Early on, my Sammi was always in contact. He wanted me to hit it off with Amber, but now, I have no idea what the bloke is up to, you know. Still, it's a restless time for much of us. Time to sit back and find a good book.

AMBER: As if, (she cracks up) You so want to destroy the lawn, if I'd let you. (she smiles).

MAXI: Maybe we need animals to raise.

AMBER: Maybe you need to go fishing..or camping (she smirks).
