Demar spending time with every nba player EXCEPT kyle lowry 😠 what's going on?

:( not good

im not gonna theorize or try n make his depression have a specific reason for writing purpose cus like! Iunno! One that ain't rlly how it works n it's pretty dismissive to make it that, n two iunno! There's just some things a writer has that they just won't write! Idk! So im not gonna be like 'ooo no wonder he's depressed he hasn't seen lowry lol' cus like! Iunno LMAO it just doesn't really sit all that right??? Point is, he's been feeling depressed. Just not one of them good days.

Now jimmy though. We can talk about. Speedran dreads with a cheat code jimmy. Had them made fun of by lowry. Got something new, something funny... something to Talk about with lowry... something to have an excuse to hang out with him more.... hm.

Using a 'jimmy trying to steal lowry away from demar because he's a number one relationship hater' lens, imagine jimmy and lowry out on some late night fancy dinner date. Where the waiter takes a blowtorch to your fancy rich person tiny cream bowl thing right in front of you! It's a NICE place, and a place JIMMY found NOT demar! Even though jimmy Loves overhearing deebo excitedly telling lowry over the phone about this new place he's heard about and would LOVE to go to once they got a game around there, then taking lowry there himself before demar can have the chance. Just so kyle can tell demar how he's already been there by the time deebo finally rolls around. Really hone in who's got home advantage here.

Anyways, jimmy and kyle are having a good dinner date. Overlooking the blinking night sky lit up by colorful Miami signs, gazing out at the dark waves misting against rocky shore. Kyle's trying to pretend Jimmy's hair is spaghetti and twist it up on his fork and eat it, Jimmy's trying to grab his wrist. They're laughing, talking, chilling. Then Kyle's phone dings. Jimmy's staring, hoping at least one blink will change the name displayed because he knows if it was anyone else but That Name, kyle would let it ring. But it wasn't. It was Demar.

Kyle picks up the phone because of course he picks up the phone. He greets with a short 'what's up-' before cutting it off with a stare at the screen. Jimmy whispers shit behind the seal of white gritted teeth. Kyle excuses himself into the restroom, taking the phone with him.

Jimmy takes the check.
