@mink: Anything new in your life?
@alex: Like . . . ?
@mink: I don’t know. Something happened recently that made me have a little more hope about the future.
@alex: Me too, actually, now that you mention it. Maybe. For your future hope . . . how far ahead are we talking? Tomorrow? Next week? (Next month?)
@mink: I’m a one-step-at-a-time kinda gal. So I guess I’ll try tomorrow and see where that leads.
@alex: You definitely don’t dive into anything, do you? (I was hinting.)
@mink: I really don’t. (I know you were.)
@alex: Maybe sometimes you should. Take a chance. Do something crazy. (Are you going to ask your dad about the film festival?)
@mink: Is that what you would do? (Maybe I already have.)
@alex: With the right person? Yes. (When will you let me know?)
@mink: Interesting. (He’s thinking about it. And so am I.)
