See! Hec and I are snickering at them.

You mean Stephen Colbert, SCRAPPY'S DAILY SHOW BOYFRIEND, don't you?
I heard Colbert was going to be your secret boyfriend until he heard you only got a trim at Frenchy's.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Personally, I wouldn't think very much of getting money as a wedding gift. It seems a little tacky.
Well, we're horribly tacky here in the midwest. I've been giving money at the wedding for the last however many years, although I get a gift off the registry for showers.
That said, most of the people I know who've gotten married in recent years already have their houses and salad shooters, and have less of a need for Stuff.
I often am not a creative gift-giver.

The emails are from him, mostly. I only work that job Mondays and Thursdays, so I'll be there in the morning, but there should be no expectation that I'm working there today. As I, in fact, am not.
Jesse, the next time there's a crisis do you want people to be emailing you and then getting upset that you weren't there to answer? Do you?!? Put down the reply button and back away slowly.

Ah, then ignore away, I say. Of course, were it my old boss, he'd have called my cell, my house, the bar, anyone who knows me & so on.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
But, Hec, I didn't get a trim, I got a whole new haircut--a shortish shag and I look fabulous, honest. Good enough for Stephen "I Love Scrappy" Colbert.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He does have my cell number, I'm pretty sure, so I figure he can either figure that out or figure out that he doesn't need me anyway, as the piece of paper he's looking for is sitting on top of my desk in addition to being saved whereever he saved it in the computer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Boo!!

See how your boldness is repaid! I will now stand by your side and defend against all other Colbert claimants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'll tell Stephen you guys said hi when I see him next week.

You should probably kiss him for Scrappy to give her a report.
