Obvs, we can’t be married without my family knowing. It’s going to be strange when you show up to a family dinner and no one is expecting you.
Roman
I’m invited to family dinner?
By the way, I’m shocked at how well you’re taking all of this.
Lavinia
I’ve had two days and countless hours to overthink and if I think anymore, my head will explode. And yes, invites to family dinners come with being a Callahan.
Roman
Bet Josh enjoyed that.
Lavinia
Do I sense jealousy?
Roman
Why would I be jealous of your ex? Last time I checked, I’m the one you married.
Lavinia
While drunk, let’s not forget. If it makes you feel any better, Aunt Constance thinks you’re much prettier than Josh. She’ll be thrilled.
Roman
Octogenarians love me. I’m like cat nip.
I wiggle my toes, grinning down at my phone. Usually, I only have this much fun when talking to Jules. My text thread with Josh was a barren wasteland of things I thought were interesting and a list of things I wanted him to do around the house—which never got done unless I assisted him or forced him to do them.
Ugh, no, stop thinking about Josh. You’re having fun. Focus on fun.
Roman
What are you up to? Send pics.
I snap a picture and send it to him.
Roman
Feet picture? In this economy?
Lavinia
Wow, the NHL must not be paying you enough if you’re considering selling pictures of my feet on the internet.
Roman
This may come as a shock because it does to me, but I’m one of their best players and paid accordingly.
Lavinia
…
Roman
