It's 8 o'clock on a Saturday morning and Veronica goes and stands by her phone, waiting for it to ring. And at 8:01am, it does.
She picks up smiling. "You're a full minute late."
"Give me a break, my roommate changed every clock we have. Something about always needing to be one minute ahead in case of attack. I dunno, I try not to converse with her."
"I can see why. Does she still talk to her My Little Ponies?"
"All 90 of them. Last night Belthazaur was misbehaving. He got sent to his corner."
"Belthazaur? Wow, you MIT kids are freaks." Veronica laughs, getting comfy on her bed.
"Har, har, har." Mac replies sarcastically, but Veronica can hear the laughter in her voice. "And you Hearst kids are sooo normal, living in Neptune and all."
"Alright, I surrender. We're all freaks!"
"I knew it!" Mac says, laughing. "How's Wallace?"
"Living the dream as always. He's a star no matter where he goes. Basically it's like--"
"A non-stop Nelly video." They say in unison.
Veronica and Mac go on like that for hours, skirting around what they really want to say. They both avoid their mistakes like the plague. It's their game, and they play it well. Veronica never talks about Logan and the breakup, and Mac never talks about Cassidy and, well... It's a mutual understanding.
Veronica knows the only thing that holds them together is the one thing they don't talk about: Their love for people they shouldn't.
