Did anyone bring popcorn for this?

Ronan

You know I’m not telling you, but I can say Nora thinks you two are a good match.

Russ

A good match? She fucking hates him!

Not helpful.

She’ll be back any minute.Any advice?

Russ

Best I’ve got is: don’t be a dick.

Luc

Go down on her first.

Ronan

I’m going to sit this one out.

Russ

I want to change my answer! What Luc said.

Ronan liked Luc’s message.

Thanks, assholes. I’m not worried about my mouth skills.

Russ

Have fun!

Luc

Make sure she comes at least three times before you do!

Russ

Don’t forget to use a condom.

Unless you want to be a dad.

Ronan

Fucking hell. I’m going to bed.

Elle returns, looking a little flushed. I’m not sure if it’s from the drinks or from her conversation with Nora, but I can’t help asking, "Everything okay?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?” She places the napkin on her lap and her eyes won’t meet mine.

“How’s Nora?”

Her blush darkens, and her gaze finally lifts. “I… don’t know.”
