"As he should. I'm disappointed it took you this long to call me but I'll be over in fifteen minutes."
"Thanks."
I hang up and Duncan calls out "Cros wants to know if he can bring Estelle."
"Sure but if it pees on my carpet he's replacing it."
"The dog?" Duncan asks.
"Of course the dog.”
"You're going to make Crosby give back Stella Bo Bella if she pees on your carpet?"
"What? No. He has to replace the carpet, not the dog."
"Oh, that makes more sense."
I roll my eyes and pull out more options while we wait for The Big Guns to assemble.

"I told Harper to bring linen dresses or skirts."
"How does that help me?" I ask Aiden who is thumbing through shirts in my closet.
"It doesn't but it's what I told her."
"Great. So helpful." I grumble.
"I got one!" Felix yells from my bedroom and I rush out into the room. He's holding up a pair of Athlala joggers and a designer t-shirt he dug out of the back of my dresser. With the bomber jacket we set aside, it would be perfect.
"What shoes?" Duncan asks and Crosby holds up a pair of black crocs I use when we go swimming at hotels.
"No!" We chorus.
"What? They're lightweight, breathable, comfortable? It's exactly what you want for a trip to Europe."
"This isn't a trip tho, I'm there to support Jo and on the off chance I'm in a picture I will not be caught wearing crocs."
"Your loss." he says with a shrug.
"Tennis shoes, colorful ones." Aiden says as he hands me a pair of EPIC sneakers.
"Can't wear those. We're boycotting EPIC."
"Why?"
"They stiffed Jo on a sponsorship. If they hadn’t, she and I might not be together now but I won’t wear the brand out of solidarity."
"That's honorable, man," Emmett says. I nod.
"Focus boys! The car is coming in an hour. I have two outfits that are acceptable to wear to the games. I need three more."
"You might have to go shopping over there." Aiden says as he looks at my clothing strewn all over the bed. I fold another pair of jeans and toss them and two plain white t-shirts on top. It’s something at least.
"You might be right."
"Don't forget a suit for the chateau party." Felix says.
