Except for them.

And if I can have them for a short time, enjoy their company and stay relatively detached, then why wouldn’t I?

Because you won’t be able to stay detached.

I pick up my phone and check the time. It’s late, but not too late. Gnawing on my lip, I navigate to the text thread with Sylvie and Sadie.

Me:

Question: Given the chance to date a celebrity with no strings attached, would you do it?

Sadie:

Hell yeah!

Vee:

Why are there no strings attached?

Me:

Because they’re a celebrity

They wouldn’t really want to be with a nobody… right?

Sadie:

BITCH! YOU ARE NOT A NOBODY!

HOW DARE YOU!

Vee:

Caps lock aside, I agree with Sadie.

Anyone would be lucky to have you.

We’ve been saying that for years.

Me:

This is a hypothetical situation.

Vee:

Okay, then hypothetically, are you wanting the no strings or are they?

Sadie:

And are they hot?

Me:

They’re a celebrity. Of course they’re hot.

Sadie:

One doesn’t necessarily mean the other.
