I wish I could, but I sort of have plans.

Amelia

What plans?

Jo

Since when do you have plans that don’t involve us?

Me

I’m kind of hanging out with Noah this afternoon.

Jo

Noah.

Me

Yes.

Amelia

Noah Wyles.

Me

The very same one.

Jo

Noah Wyles, Jordan and Elliot’s younger brother, who is basically a puppy dog in human form and has made no secret that he’s interested in you?

Me

He’s not interested in me.

Amelia

The fuck he isn’t. That man isobsessed with you.

Jo

Our girl tells no lies. He is, in fact, obsessed with you. Is this, like, a date or something? Is this finally happening? Are we going to be sisters who date brothers? Because I can’t lie, I kind of love that.

Me

This is definitely not a date. No one is dating anyone. He was free, and I’m free, and we’re hanging out. That’s all.

There. That’s most of the truth. We are hanging out. They don’t have to know that it’s not a one-time thing. Or about the coffee. Or about the thing where I mostly can’t write. Or Noah’s not so subtle flirting. Or that I like it, even if I’d rather gnaw off my own arm than say that out loud.

Amelia

I definitely don’t think that’s all, but we’ll get into that later. Where are you guys going?

Me

I don’t know. He said it’s a surprise.
