"This is Westerden Ski Lodge-"

"Boo!"

"Ahhh!"

"Are you seriously scared of that?"

"Nah, I'm Siriusly scared."

"There must be something Ron with you then. Boo!"

"Screw off! Anyway, my boss bumped into me yesterday and told me to keep up the good work. If we take your dazzling review into account, I may have Employee of the Month in the bag."

"That's chiptastic!"

"It's mozzamazing, right?"

"Since we've got your side of the deal sealed, now I just need to master skiing."

"Hmm. I'd help you, but I'm a snowboarder. Skiing's not my forte."

"You're a who what now?"

"A snowboarder, are you deaf? I rank internationally."

"Internationally? You're that good?"

"I was that good. Tense is everything, dearest Chipmunk. I broke my leg during last year's championships. Haven't touched my snowboard ever since."

"You just gave up? That's uncharacteristic."

"I'm terrified of snow sports now. Phobias are hard to get rid of. Quit snowboarding the same year I quit flute lessons, so I suppose that was the quitting year for me."

"You play the flute?"

"I used to play the flute. Past simple tense, dearest Chipmunk! Don't you have any grammar expertise? You need to know your semicolons and Oxford commas!"

"Oh, don't you English professor me."

"How about you then? Do you play any instruments?"

"Uh, I fiddle with the guitar occasionally."

"Is that so? I was under the impression that you're meant to play the guitar and fiddle with the fiddle."

"Was that meant to sound dirty?"

"W- What? No! It was an observation!"

"It's cute hearing you sound so flustered."

"You think I'm cute?"

"Among many other things, yes."

"No stuttering for once. I've taught you well. Also, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Whatever you want it to."

"Chipmunnnnnnk! Tell meeeeeee!"

"It means you're every color of the rainbow. Words strung together to form a poem. Multidimensional. Scattered pieces of a jigsaw puzzle."

"And what, you think you're the one who can put me back together?"

"I just think you're a broken kind of beautiful."
