Fred has it.

Okay, text me when you get there

and be careful.

Fred?

Holy pregnant cow.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

- Thank you.

- [phone ringing]

[sighs]

Purdue Creamery.

- Morgan.

- Hey. How's your second date?

How could you do this to me?

Oh, my God,

I'm in sweatpants.

My hair, it's-it's a mess.

It's tied.

[growls] Oh, my God,

I look like an idiot.

Oh, please. Katie,

you're super freakin' hot, okay?

I can't even see you right now and

I can tell you look gorgeous.

Hi, excuse me.

Can I just get a large...

Can you not see

I'm on the phone?

He really likes you, okay?

I can tell.

Just try to be yourself.

Don't ramble too much.

And call me afterwards.

[clattering]

Bye.

[Katie sighs]

Oh, my...

[groans]

[distant train whistle blows]

Wow, you exist.

I thought I was dreaming

last night or something.

Were you in the REM

stage of sleep?

What?

That's when most

dreams happen, actually.

Yeah, your brain activity

is super high and functioning,

and your eyes are just going

nuts behind your eyelids.

It looks super weird. It's like

a typewriter or something.

Um, anyway, thank you for...

Wait, I, uh... I still

don't know your name.

Oh.

- It's Katie.

- Katie, I'm Charlie.

[laughs]

Wow, that's a weird name.

Thank God you told me it 'cause I

wouldn't have known it otherwise.

Thank you.

- Wait, what...

- You didn't...

You didn't read through it,

did you?

Uh, just a little. I...

- What?

- What?

Are you serious?

You read through my journal?

- Look, I...

- This could have been a diary.

I mean, it is, kind of.

Um, I'm... I'm really sorry.

You left really quick

the other night,

and I really had no idea

who it belonged to,

so I just

looked through it quickly.

But I like that you

still handwrite things.

It's... It's cool.

It's old school.

Thanks... for finding it.

Yeah.

Wait!

What, another cat died?

You have to...

Oh. [laughs]

Um...

I... I had to... I... I'm...

I'm walking home.

Can I walk with you?

Um, yeah.

So, you were home-schooled, huh?

Man, that must have been wild.

Actually, it was the exact

opposite of wild.

My dad's pretty protective.

He's not, like, watching us

right now, is he?

Oh, yeah. He has his phone

tapped into every camera.

[both laugh]

So, um, what did you think

of the songs you read?

Without my permission,

I may add.

Um, honestly, I don't know.

I mean, you can't really

read a song, right?

True.

I guess I'd have

to hear you sing them.

Um, so anyway,

I'm right up here.

So, you don't have to walk me.

Wait, you live up there?

I-I don't understand

how we've never met.

I've probably

skated by your house,

like, every day

on the way to practice.
