[Emily & James chat by using webcam on the computer and have a little flirt]
James: Hey!
Emily: [smiles] Hi!
James: How was - How was work?
Emily: It was fine. One of the other girls, uh, called in sick, so I was the only one answering phones all night. Also, my - my arm's been really bothering me. It's like I bruised it or something, but I don't remember how.
[Emily holds her arm up to the webcam]
Emily: I think you can see. There's a bump there. Can you see?
James: Mnh - Mnh.
Emily: Well... I know I said I didn't want this, but when you're a doctor, could you just support me, and I'll just... Stay at home?
James: I guess, yeah, if you want that.
Emily: [laughs] That was easy.
James: I mean, do you want me to make it difficult for you? Like, um... I don't know, Emily. I guess you'll have to convince me here.
Emily: [blushes] No! Really?
James: I mean... maybe a little convincing, or...
Emily: Well, how 'bout now?
James: [Emily sits up and removes her shirt] Maybe a little more?
Emily: [Emily removes her bra as James watches] How 'bout now?
[Emily puts her chest to the camera giving a shake before laughing]
Emily: [recording ends]

[Emily records herself to show James where she heard noises outside her room]
Emily: Well, now I can show you my apartment.
James: Yay, I mean... I'm gonna see it soon enough.
Emily: Well, Fall Break's not soon enough.
James: Um... I know.
Emily: All right, so this... Like, right here... Uh, this is where I heard the footsteps.
James: [Emily shows James the hallway in front of her bedroom door] Um, back there?
Emily: Yeah.
James: Right. I mean, uh, could it have been coming from up stairs?
Emily: No. I mean... I know - I mean, my neighbor always wears heels, so I know what that sounds like. It was weird. It was like, while it was happening it didn't seem like it was real, but I was awake.
James: And you didn't check?
Emily: Are you kidding me? No way. I can't believe I was even, like, able to fall back asleep.
James: I mean, it sounds like you were asleep.
Emily: Okay, well, next time it happens, I'll call you and you can watch me, and maybe I'll be brave enough to open the door.
James: 'Kay.
Emily: [smiles] Okay.
[recording ends]
