(6:45)
Tell me about it. I'm all texted out.
(6:45)
It feels like a hangover.

(6:47)
Should I feel insulted?

(6:50)
Not at all! I was talking about the good kind.

(6:51)
There's a good kind?

(6:53)
Yes, it involves texting you.
(6:54)
And the cure is... more texting!

(6:55)
Like the cure to a real hangover is more drinking?

(6:59)
Exactly.

Sat 6 Dec (11:04am)
I need you to do something for me.

(11:23)
Do I get to know what it is first?

(11:25)
Not really, no.

(11:26)
Is this part of one of your missions?

(11:28)
You're so smart.
(11:28)
This is part of mission #2.

(11:30)
What do I need to do?

(11:35)
Smart and trusting.

(11:37)
Don't make me regret it!

(11:38)
Never. Do you know the Balto statue in Central Park?

(11:40)
Do I spend at least every Sunday morning in Central Park?

(11:41)
I'll take that as a yes.
(11:43)
I need you to be there at 3pm sharp.

(11:45)
And ...look at the statue?

(11:50)
Sure, why not.

(11:52)
Kurt, you need to tell me more than that if you want me to go. My trust has limits.

(11:53)
Trust doesn't have limits. Either you trust a person or you don't.

(11:55)
Just tell me what to expect!

(11:56)
Something magical.

(11:56)
Kurt.

(12:01pm)
Look, you're not going to get robbed or stabbed or the like. It's a public place and that spot is always packed with kids. Trust me.
(12:04)
Take a friend. Or Bradshaw! He can protect you from the threats that you're making up in your head.

(12:06)
Right. Clearly you've never met that dog. He greets strangers like long-lost soulmates.

(12:08)
All strangers?

(12:09)
All of them.

(12:10)
Even the creepy ones?

(12:11)
Even the creepy ones.

(12:14)
Are you sure he's from New York?

(12:16)
I'll never know for sure.

(12:20)
So will you be there? Do you have the time?

(12:21)
I'll think about it.

~

(4:23pm)
Kurt.
(4:26)
KURT.
(4:33)
Seriously. Kurt!!!
(4:45)
Kurt. I'm hyperventilating.
(4:47)
Kuuuuuurt.

(4:49)
Yes! Yes, I'm here!

(4:50)
Oh thank god.

(4:51)
What's up?

(4:52)
What's up?!
(4:52)
How did you know? How?!

(4:53)
Know what?

(4:54)
That I've got a thing for a cappella groups!!!

(4:55)
You've got a thing for a cappella groups?

(4:57)
KURT!

(4:59)
Fine, lucky guess. So you went after all?

(5:01)
Yesssss. Oh yes. I did. I did and I loved it.

(5:02)
Even the Christmas songs?

(5:03)
Especially the... wait, what?
(5:03)
You sneaky bastard!

(5:05)
What? Maybe I'm just familiar with that group and their repertoire.

(5:06)
I don't know if my gratitude outweighs my anger about you spying on me again.

(5:09)
I didn't spy on you!

(5:11)
Can you see my trust fading? Can you?

(5:12)
Blaine. I didn't spy on you. There were way too many people, hundreds, and I have no idea what you look like.

(5:14)
Aha! So you're admitting it.
(5:15)
Now I'm glad I didn't bring Bradshaw.

(5:16)
Did you bring a friend?

(5:17)
You don't get to know that.

(5:20)
Fine. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. It was a beautiful sunny snow day. I heard about the performance and I thought you might enjoy it. No harm done.
(5:21)
You liked it, right?

(5:22)
Yes...

(5:25)
And you don't regret going, right?

(5:30)
I guess.
(5:31)
No, I don't.
(5:33)
It was good.
(5:34)
Really good.
(5:35)
I might have shed a tear or two...

(5:37)
See! Did it get you into the Christmas spirit?

(5:40)
Maybe.

(5:41)
It was so beautiful that you cried, Blaine.

(5:44)
A tear or two.

(5:45)
Blaine.

(5:45)
Okay, yes. Yes, it did. Happy?

(5:46)
Very. And so are you.

(5:50)
What am I gonna do with you?

(5:51)
You're going to adore me once this month is over.

(5:52)
We'll see about that.

******

Sun 7 Dec (1:12am)
Kurt?

(1:23)
Yes?

(1:24)
Why didn't you tell me?

(1:26)
That I was going to be there?

(1:28)
Yes.

(1:28)
Would you have come in that case?

(1:30)
Maybe.
(1:31)
I don't know.

(1:31)
There's your answer.
(1:35)
Sleep well, Blaine.

(1:36)
Goodnight.

~

(11:03am)
How's Bradshaw?

(11:11)
I'm worried about him.

(11:12)
Why?? Is he sick?

(11:14)
Yeah, in his mind.
(11:16)
Wait a second; a picture should explain it all.
(11:20)
He's been doing this for the past thirty minutes. And I'm starting to look the same.

(11:23)
He sure likes his snow.
(11:24)
The same? As in, on the ground making snow angels?

(11:26)
No, the same as in covered in snow!

(11:28)
Can I see a picture of that too?

(11:30)
Sure.
(11:31)
Hang on.

(11:35)
Waiting. Once again.

(11:38)
Patience!

(11:40)
Are you having a photoshoot?

(11:42)
How do I look?

(11:44)
Positively adorable!
(11:45)
A little cold, maybe. And I'm not sure if you're happy or not.
(11:46)
What's that on your neck?

(11:49)
A bow tie.

(11:52)
Nice touch!

******

Tues 9 Dec (9:23am)
Be sure to get your coffee some time between now and 8pm today!

(9:29)
You're spoiling me!

(9:36)
Just do it, Blaine.

(9:37)
What if I don't want to?

(9:38)
What if you're crazy?

(9:40)
What if I am?

(9:40)
What if you're being ridiculous and I'm rethinking the coffee thing?

(9:44)
You wouldn't.

(9:45)
I would.

(9:46)
No, you wouldn't.

~

(4:47pm)
Damn, coffee has never been this welcome. Thank you!
(4:49)
Can I tell you a secret?

(5:02)
Yes.

(5:03)
Your coffee shop is on my way to college. Or on my way home. Depends on how you look at it.

(5:05)
My, my. If only I'd known that coffee in your veins makes you spill all your dirty secrets, I would have gotten you all the coffee in the world for our little Q & A.

(5:08)
You now know my weakness. Please use this knowledge responsibly.

(5:10)
Of course.

(5:12)
Our schools are in the same neighborhood, aren't they?

(5:15)
That's very likely, yes.

(5:27)
Do you live close to yours?

(5:28)
Very subtle, Blaine.

(5:30)
It was worth a try!
(5:59)
Will you tell me a secret now?

(6:02)
It depends. I didn't realize it's national secret sharing day.

(6:04)
Okay, let me put it this way. Will you answer me a question?

(6:04)
Maybe.

(6:05)
Do you know someone named Rachel?
(6:14)
Kurt?

(6:15)
Yes?

(6:17)
Do you?

(6:20)
Why?

(6:23)
Because she made my coffee today and when I told her my name when I ordered her eyes basically popped out of her head and I became the most interesting thing she had ever seen. Unicorn level of interesting.
(6:45)
Your silence speaks volumes.

(6:46)
What did she say to you?

(6:47)
Nothing. Scared?

(6:49)
No.

(6:53)
I gotta say though, she's not exactly good at this spy thing.

(6:55)
She's not a spy! She's just one of my coffee people! And she usually doesn't work on Tuesdays. I'm surprised she was there today.

(6:56)
Sure.
(6:58)
Are you gonna call her now and ask her all about me? ;)

(6:59)
No, I'm not going to call her.

(7:10)
Do you still want me to get my coffee next week?

(7:12)
Of course. I've got nothing to hide.

(7:17)
Good. ;)

(7:18)
Good.
