Madeline

Glad you. Like. I’ll let you take it off me tonight.

Me

Sorry, what? I’m still staring at the photo you sent. Might make it my phone background.

Madeline

You would never.

Me

You’re right. I wouldn’t. But fuck do I want to.

Puck Kings

Me:Tonight is the night, guys.

Easy E:What? You’re losing your virginity?

G-Money:Pretty sure he’s having more sex than you right now, dude.

Me:Thank you for your fascination with my sex life, Ethan, but, no.

Me:I’m ready to show Madeline and Lucy the sign language I’ve been learning.

Mavvy:Hell yeah, man. I’m so pumped for you.

Riley:Dude. That’s awesome. Are you excited?

Me:I kind of want to throw up. Is this too much?

Sully:No.

G-Money:What the hell does no mean?

Sully:It means no. It’s not too much. This is a good fucking thing you’re doing, Hudson.

Easy E:I think I might be crying in the club RN????

Riley:It’s noon. Really hope you’re not at the club.

Me:I don’t know why I’m scared.

Riley:Because you really care about her.

Sully:About them.

Mavvy:You’re falling in love with her, man. Of course you’re scared.

G-Money:Holy shit. Is Cap a relationship guru now?

Mavvy:I might be. You’re going to be fine, Hud. They’re going to love it.

Me:Okay. Yeah. Thanks. I appreciate your confidence in me.

Riley:We love you.
