HER WHO SHOWED UP WHERE?

Noelle

Okay, now we are definitely hiding a body.

Carly-girl

That’s it. I’m canceling my trip to Nebraska.

Edie

Don’t you dare, little girl. I’ll be fine. You are not skipping Easter with your family just for me.

Carly-girl

I never get to have any fun.

Taylor

Wait. The guy she’s marrying is THERE? With you? In your house??

Edie

Yes.

Taylor

Maybe Ian and I should come over.

Ginny

Texting Rex now.

Noelle

Oooh, good idea. Send the big bad biker dude. Excellent choice, Gin.

Carly-girl

If y’all are going over there, I’m coming too! Just gotta sneak past Mr. Bossypants, first.

Taylor

This… isn’t exactly what I had in mind, guys.

Edie

Oh my god, just STOP. I’m FINE. I will call if I need you, but I swear if any one of you shows up here before I tell you to come, I will spank you myself. Now, I’ve gotta go make some gravy. Stay where your daddies put you. I mean it.

Setting the phone to silent, she shoved it back in her pocket. But she couldn’t quite wipe the smile off her face as she made her way over to the stove.
