Luckily, I’ve missed a bunch of notifications from my group chat with the guys. I scroll up quickly to catch up.
Luke
Who’s coming over Sunday for the new Gilded Age?
Beau
Nobody. You’re the only one who watches that shit.
Luke
One, it’s not shit. Railroad Daddy and Railroad Mommy are relationship goals.
Two, I know Ryan does. Chicks dig Jane Austen, and if chicks dig it, Ryan digs it.
James
They’re not the same time period.
Luke
See??? James watches it too!
Beau
No he doesn’t. How did you know that?
James
Anyone with basic knowledge of literature and history would know that.
I can practically hear James’s dry voice, which makes me chuckle. Cat looks over.
“What’s so funny?”
“Group chat with the poker guys.”
She smiles, and it lights up her face. “It’s sweet that you’re all such good friends.”
Ryan’s name flashes on my phone, and I know whatever I’m about to read definitely isn’t sweet.
Ryan
Sorry, just woke up. Maya the masseuse stayed over last night ;)
My muscles have never felt more relaxed.
And count me in for Sunday! I’m totally in Da Gild. Carrie Coon is my hall pass.
Luke
You don’t need a hall pass when you’re sleeping with all the teachers.
Ryan
Ahh, my favorite sex dream.
James
