Cameron (5:38 p.m.):??
Andrew (5:39 p.m.):what
Andrew (5:39 p.m.):excuse me if i want to know the cat’s name too dude
Margot sighed. This conversation was quickly devolving intowho’s on firstterritory.
Margot (5:40 p.m.):No, the cat’s name IS Cat.
She chewed on her lip.
Margot (5:40 p.m.):The roommate’s name is Olivia.
Andrew (5:41 p.m.):who names their cat CAT
Cameron (5:42 p.m.):Olivia, clearly. Keep up, Andrew.
Margot stared up at her ceiling, regretting her whole life.
Cameron (5:43 p.m.):Where’d you meet her?
Andrew (5:44 p.m.):i’m guessing cam means the roommate not the cat ??
Margot (5:45 p.m.):You know, nvm. All I wanted was to know how to avoid being eaten in my sleep but it’s fine. I’ll be fine. If you don’t hear from me, just assume I died and went on to become dinner.
Andrew (5:46 p.m.):circle of life ?
Mom (5:47 p.m.):That reminds me: do you ever hear from Olivia Grant?
Margot swallowed hard. No one, not even her family, knew the specifics of her relationship—ornonrelationship—with Olivia. Mommaybeknew about her crush, but as far everyone else was concerned, she and Olivia had only ever been friends. Best friends. Margot had never seen the point in telling them otherwise. There wasn’t anything worth telling.
Margot (5:49 p.m.):Funny story actually. My new roommate IS Olivia Grant.
Margot (5:49 p.m.):Small world, huh?
Andrew (5:50 p.m.):whoa weird
Cameron (5:51 p.m.):I thought she was married to Brad Taylor?
Dad (5:52 p.m.):No, they split up last year.
Margot shut her eyes. Okay, that was enough family time.
Margot (5:53 p.m.):Sorry got to go! I have plans. Talk soon. ♥
Andrew (5:54 p.m.):“plans”
Cameron (5:54 p.m.):Avoid petting her stomach and hind area.
Andrew (5:55 p.m.):what the fuck
Andrew (5:55 p.m.):boundaries bro
Mom (5:57 p.m.):I think Cameron was talking about the cat, honey.
