I’m fine. I was just doing yoga actually. See?
I show Eric and wait for his nod of approval before hitting send.
Sophie
Madelyn Grace! Where the hell have you been?
Lennon
You look sweaty like you’ve been having lots of hot sex. If you ran away with a sexy billionaire, you can tell us.
Maddie
Yes. His name is BOB. He’s the grandson of a dildo inventor, and he swept me away to the Alaskan mountains where we’re hot-tubbing naked and drinking five-thousand-dollar bottles of wine.
I type out my response, then show Eric who looks less than amused.
“Trust me, if I’m not my normal sarcastic self, they’ll know something’s up,” I explain.
“Fine, but you have a minute, and then I’m taking your phone back.”
I hit send and wait for their responses.
Lennon
Told ya she was out getting dicked. You owe me 20 bucks, Soph.
Sophie
You two are the most annoying sisters ever! I hate you both.
Maddie
I’m fine! I’m not a child and can take care of myself for a week or two, okay? I just needed some space, and I can’t have that being in the same house as him.
I hit send before showing Eric, needing to wrap up this conversation.
Sophie
You really sure you’re okay?
Maddie
I promise. I’ll reach out when I’m ready.
Lennon
We’re here if you need anything, Mads.
Sophie
Please don’t stay gone too long. I miss you.
Maddie
I know. I miss and love you both.
Then I show Eric and give him back the phone.
