Of course I believe it, Q.

Can I see the book?

[proofofconcept]

Yeah, of course. Anytime. Hang on.

[A picture comes through, of a page in a scrapbook. You know how every six-year-old draws the same exact house? This one's clearly done with chalk.]

He was such a sweet boy.

[proofofconcept]

He was. I wish I could remember more about him older.

[physicalmagic]

Maybe it's because we were old and something something time.

[proofofconcept]

I wouldn't call us old when he was a teenager or something but yeah, maybe.

I remember him leaving home and we were dilfs.

[physicalmagic]

and did we ever

[proofofconcept]

Quick question. Is it weird for you if I refer to the other yous that have been here? Or does it not bother you if I'm like, the previous Eliot said this.

[physicalmagic]

It's me one way or another, isn't it? It's not weird. Kind of funny.

[proofofconcept]

Okay, good to know. So the previous you didn't remember the threesome we had for my fiftieth birthday.

[physicalmagic]

How could I forget?

[proofofconcept]

With that youngish guy from the village, like 30 or whatever? Dark hair?

[physicalmagic]

He was beautiful.

[proofofconcept]

Not as beautiful as you.

[smoothness: achieved]

[physicalmagic]

Not as beautiful as you.

[proofofconcept]

Do you think we just kept getting distracted with each other and totally left him out half the time?

[physicalmagic]

I can totally see that happening.

[proofofconcept]

There's also...do you remember what happened to Ari? I remember her being gone and me being upset but not why?

[physicalmagic]

I think she uh, passed away, Quentin.

[proofofconcept]

Yeah, that's what I think too. Maybe related to pregnancy or birth with another baby?

[physicalmagic]

Probably something like that, sadly.

[proofofconcept]

Yeah. I don't know for sure, it's just a hunch. I'm sorry Teddy didn't get to know his mom, but. Not to sound sappy but he had you, so. Just as good.

[physicalmagic]

If you really think so. I would like to think it's not a high bar to pass to be better than my own dad.

[proofofconcept]

You were a good dad. You

[physicalmagic]

You were a wonderful dad, Quentin.
