The mystery was solved.
Jordan
Can we have a hint?
Me
It’s really better in person for the full effect.
Noah
You know I don’t have that kind of patience.
Me
Well, you’re going to have to summon some. Tonight. Seven. I’ll tell you everything.
Jordan
Mom and Dad coming?
Me
No, they’re busy tonight, so we’re stopping there on our way home to tell them and Cece everything together. Felt right that they be the first to know anyway.
Noah
Know what?
Me
Nice try. Seven. See you then.
Cooper
And how was the rest of Maine? Was it romantic and shit?
Jordan
Spoken like the other brother with no relationship experience.
Cooper
Hard to have relationship experience when you work eighty hours a week.
Me
That can’t be healthy.
Cooper
Oh, it’s definitely not. But the only other associate in my group is an insane workaholic who I’m like 98% sure is half cyborg.
I came in this morning and she was wearing the same clothes she had on yesterday, which means she pulled an all nighter, and she’s still here now.
She’s the bane of my damn existence and the reason why I have absolutely no life, never sleep, and am currently still in the office working on a fucking Sunday.
