My thumb hovered over my screen, ready to accept an incoming call. Instead, a new notification popped up.

Hi! ??I just got in the car. I’ll be home in a bit.

Tabitha • 04:02pm

decided to make Cordy an honorary frap slut because she has a ladyboner for her manservant and the situation requires a council session

Defne • 04:03pm

OMG Cordelia and Victor? YES.

I suckedin a breath loud enough to freeze and stare at the open door - just in case Victor would come running to check on me. But everything remained quiet. I dragged my eyes back to my phone screen. Defne’s message was so short and so simple, and yet I wasn’t sure I’d ever seen it spelled out like that.

Cordelia and Victor.

I suddenly got the urge to trace those three words in my notebook until the pen tore the pages. Typing them out was almost as good.

Cordelia • 04:06pm

Yes. Cordelia and Victor.

Defne • 04:06pm

I love that for you!

Tabitha • 04:07pm

Cordy you had a Q

Cordelia • 04:09pm

I would like it to be Cordelia and Victor…
