Emma
He thinks it’ll be fine.
I type this with more confidence than I feel. But Santo was pretty sure, right? He does this kind of thing more often. Well, maybe not giving his student-slash-neighbor the best orgasm of her life, but he has experience picking women up in bars and taking them home.
Our chat moves on to other things. We’d been messaging while I was in the airport earlier today, catching up on everyone’s holidays. Tessa had spent it in Paris with Luc and Anouk. Sara and Chris had flown to Munich to have the holidays there with Zoe before packing her up and helping her move back to Austin now that her semester abroad is over. Jade flew out to Amsterdam for New Year’s Eve.
Jade
Did we lose Sara?
Emma
Maybe?
I think they are back in London now? Didn’t they get an invitation to a New Year’s party with some famous person?
Jade
‘Some famous person’. Babe, you live in Europe now, you can’t call Hugh Fetcher that. He had his own BBC show! He was on Doctor Who!
Emma
Sorry I failed my crash course on British pop culture.
I’ve been listening to Verduistering.
Jade
I’m sure Chris appreciates being the entirety of your Eurovision knowledge.
Excuse me, I’m sure Chris enjoys his FORMER band being the entirely of your knowledge.
Sara
Chris says if you have to know one thing, Verduistering is still the best option, even if he’s not in it.
Jade
Finally! Where did you go? It’s okay if you had to sneak off and ride Chris’s face.
Sara
I didn’t ride his face, but otherwise you aren’t far off, as little as I like to encourage your general assumptions.
Jade
Nailed it.
Sara
But now I have a private client.
Love y’all!
We all filter out of the chat, and I lean back on the couch, reflective.
Two years ago, I was in a sexless marriage, getting my third kid through school, and meeting my friends for drinks or yoga when I could. I never would have imagined any part of this life I have now.
