Thank you, your honour

I haven’t talked to my sister in two years. When I phoned her Monday and led with ‘Why the hell are you calling Grace Fairbanks?’ it didn’t score me points

Don’t know why you’re complaining. Seems like you’re scoring plenty of other points

So you did watch the game

It didn’t occur to me that you’d need to know right away. I wanted to smooth things over. Plus, I didn’t know Jenna knew. Turns out Country and Jenna have a healthy relationship and communicate. My bad

What would that be like?

Exactly

Was that supposed to be an apology? Sounded more like a defence.

I’m sorry

Also, you’re just as much of a stubborn ass as I am

Don’t deflect

My pride is fragile

I’m sorry things haven’t been good with your sister

Mostly her fault

Obviously

I want more tacos

I want more of my hands up your shirt. So . . . we don’t always get what we want

Tacos will cost you less

How about waffles?

I’m listening

Brunch Tuesday. Me, you, and Elodie

Are you serious?

Comes at a price

I know I look it, but I’m not a sex worker

Work the charity game. A couple hours of paperwork max

Done

Shit. That was easier than I thought. I should’ve asked for at least another bra viewing

Yeah, missed opportunity

Prepare for awkward family conversation. And don’t listen to a word Elodie says about me

Does she know who I am and that I’ll be there?
