Okay, thanks. Becca will love seeing you guys there.

Henley

Hey, wait! You never answered my question. POPPY?

She works there, yes.

Henley

And?

And she’ll love seeing you there too.

Weston

And you know this…how?

God, you’re a bunch of nosy birds.

Weston

And this surprises you…why?

Rhodes

Sounds like we’re needing a little update.

When I don’t say anything, Penn jumps in.

Penn

Waiting…

There’s not really a story to tell. I took Becca to Briar Hill today. She hung out there with Poppy and Poppy brought her home. She mentioned flag football tomorrow because, you know Becca, she wanted to go back. Poppy distracted her by inviting her to play flag football, and before I knew it, I was invited too.

Rhodes

I think that’s the most words I’ve ever heard you say at one time. What are you not saying is what I want to know right now!

Penn

She invited you because she wants IN YOUR PANTS.

She’s already been in my pants and tolerated me acting like a bastard afterward.

I keep that little nugget to myself or I’ll never get any sleep tonight.

Weston

Don’t scare Bowie off, pretty boy.

Penn

Ugh. I thought you guys had stopped calling me that and I was happy about that fact. I’d say I’m more rugged than pretty, wouldn’t you?

Henley

The fact that you’re discussing it makes the nickname still work for you, pretty boy. That and your pretty black hair.
