You’re having Christmas dinner with us. You’re not obligated to bring gifts or anything, but you’re going to be in town and maman invited you and she always gets her way. I think she knows we slept together.
LAURIN
Manon knows, too.
LAURIN
I guess that’s obvious

I used to have this nightmare all the time. It was after I stopped playing football, but in the nightmare, I was on the pitch, and everyone was running around me, and the ball was heading my way so I ran for it, except I couldn’t. The pitch was normal grass everywhere except where I was standing. It was like swamp or quicksand or something idk but every step was harder to take and I kept sinking further and further. I just had that dream again I wish I could talk to you right now
LAURIN
I DIDN’T MEAN TO SEND THAT TEXT :scream:
LAURIN
What did you think of hells Belle’s banh mi in Around The World? The judges liked them, but didn’t they look a mess? I can’t believe she beat your pate chaud. I know it’s just one episode, but it really bothers me.

Vivvy drew you into a picture at school today. I’m not trying to freak you out or anything, I think she just overheard us talking about you coming over for Christmas and Christmas is all they talk about. Ms. Lori said Vivvy cried bc the white crayon was too light and the pink was too pink and the orange was too orange. You may have to dye your hair
LAURIN
Don’t do it until after Christmas Eve though. I think Mike will kill me if you do and he finds out I’m the one who told you to do it. I still want it all to match too :wink:
LAURIN
unless that’s not safe downstairs. I think you were too busy coming all over your stockings when I asked that before.

Manon got these new silicone mats that were supposed to be amazing and I hate them. I try not to use the word hate that often, but I hate these mats.
LAURIN
IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, STOP READING THESE MANON sorry, she won’t stop. I’m trying to have a private conversation with you, and she thinks that it’s better that she responds than no one, and it’s not. I’m sorry she saw the stocking comment. She’ll pretend she didn’t, don’t worry.

I need the recipe for your champagne cookies for Santa. Vivvy insists. If you’re not willing to give the recipe to me, you need to bring a batch down with you. Vivvy thinks she won’t get the Lego bakery set from Santa if she doesn’t give him those cookies, and I already got it for her. Please give me one more year of Santa. And cookies.

I’m going to stop, I promise. But a dad’s gotta share his kid’s triumphs, right? She got picked bc she’s the smallest in her ballet class, but that’s the second biggest theater company in Atlanta she’s getting to be on stage with. You should have seen the bouquet of flowers the director gave her. I thought she was going to topple over.
