But can we????

Shay

Yes. We can.

Tonight is great with me.

Dad

I’ll make it work.

Alix

We’ll make it work, too. Shay, remind me to give you the names of some great little shops you need to visit. And the best places to eat!

Shay

Will do.

Lowell

Ah, fine. I’ll hang out with James and Trevon tomorrow night. It’s not like they have lives.

I sigh and smile at my phone. We may be up in each other’s business and call each other punks, but we really do love each other.

Thanks for making this work around my schedule, guys.

Dad

No problem. May I ask if you have a picture of Poppy? I’d like to put a face with the name.

Alix

Yes!!! I want to see pictures!!!

Lowell

Me, too! (Alix, did you notice I only needed one exclamation mark?)

Alix

Keaton was right,you are a punk.

Shay

I think I have one, if you don’t. But I’m guessing you do.

I was hoping this wouldn’t happen.

Evan

I don’t think you have a choice, Keat. If you don’t send a picture, they’re going to think she’s ugly.

Shay

No, we won’t. Because I know her and she is super cute.

Evan
