Best Buy A Phoenix Down On The Way Home

(I’m at home and my husband is at work; we are texting throughout the day. My phone can send empty hearts and full hearts. I send a text consisting of one full heart and seven empty ones.)

Me: “Warning! Red player is running low on health, needs cuddles badly!”

Husband: “But I cuddled before I left for work!”

Me: “Need more!”

Husband: “You should have at least 3 hearts, this game is too hard! Its like Ninja Gaiden.”

Me: “No, the cast was interrupted.”

Husband: *sends 3 hearts inside parenthesis* “Here, this potion should hold you over until I get home. Just avoid encounters until then.”
