Leon
Did you seriously just group text an engagement announcement?
Jade
I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND ALSO SO UPSET THAT I CAN’T HUG YOU BOTH!
Jade
WE SHOULD HAVE HAD A FAMILY LUNCH OR SOMETHING!
Nico
Yes because the last family gathering with Rayna ended so pleasantly. Great idea, Jade.
Remo
Don’t be rude, Nico.
Remo
Congrats, Apollo.
Matteo
I thought she couldn’t stand you?
Elio
That’s called sexual tension, Matteo.
Leon
Does Dad know?
Jade
He does! I ran into the kitchen to tell Martha and he was there. They BOTH knew. It’s so real, OMG.
Matteo
Martha knew and she didn’t tell me? We’re going to have words.
Elio
She’s going to smack you with a wooden spoon for questioning her.
I sigh, finishing the last of my drink as I read through the messages. I can’t imagine how loud this conversation would be in person.
Apollo
Yes, Dad is aware. Martha stumbled upon the news. We had to tell Yordan first, and he found out tonight. They’ll be moving in soon, while wedding planning occurs.
Cassio
Congratulations. Happy for you, brother.
Ana
