If I do, will you promise to shut up about attending our wedding?

Jon

I’m still not over the fact that you want to have it alone. Without us. Without my skills at your disposal.

Zach

There’s literally going to be three of us plus an officiant. How much planning does it need?

Jon

You underestimate the little details that can take your day from good to spectacular.

Zach

Okay, I’m not going to the game. Count me out.

Me

Jack’s a winger, like me, right?

Jon

Might be even faster than you. Need to watch your back when he breaks into the NHL.

Me

He’s that good?

Jon

Yep, but don’t tell him I said that. Cocky little shit gives me enough back talk already.

Felicity

You gotta admit though, he was right about that power play last week. You made the wrong call.

Zach

Changed my mind. Count me in.

Jon

Fucker.

Kate

Okay, I’m off to stare at a wall. Jon, you need three extra tickets.

Luna

And to listen to Jack more often.

Zach

Bahahaha. That’s my Rocket Girl.

As I push the cart of groceries through the empty aisle, I close out the group chat but pause when I see another message from Mia.
