Zane: You are aware that the women kept pushing the drinks so we would sleep in? They ran away earlier this morning.
Damon: I don’t know if going Black Friday shopping counts as running away.
Zane: Semantics. Fucking double-shot eggnogs.
Caden: About that. Can you two get your women in check? They stole my wife before sunrise.
Damon: As if you would have been more accommodating had it been after sunrise. Plus, shopping is not Poppy’s idea of a good time. She’s just as much a victim.
Caden: I don’t give a shit. I want my wife back.
Damon: That’s the only sentiment I agree with.
Caden: How long do women shop on Black Friday? It’s been hours.
Zane: Last night, I saw something called “Sparkles Only” on Piya’s list of stores to visit.
Damon: That’s all fucking day.
Caden: This is unacceptable. I’m going to pick Rose up now.
Damon: Same. Poppy’s probably trying to make a break for it as we speak.
Caden: Rose’s location isn’t showing up on my phone. What the fuck’s going on?
Damon: I can’t track Poppy’s location either.
Zane: That’s why I texted. Piya turned off her location sharing.
Caden: Fuck. They planned this. Rose’s phone is on do not disturb.
Damon: Poppy’s too.
Caden: They’re probably at the Hudson Yards. I’ll hop in my car.
Damon: I’m right behind you. The nanny should be here in five minutes to take care of Arya.
Zane: Don’t bother. I already scoured the place and all the nearby shopping centers for stores with “sparkle” in the name.
Caden: You’ve got to be shitting me. Add Xander to this thread. Maybe Jordan knows where they went.
Damon: Good call.
Xander has been added to the conversation.
Xander: What the hell do you guys want?
Caden: What’s got your panties in a bunch?
Xander: I’m hungover. I am in a shitty mood. And my fiancée was kidnapped at the crack of dawn by YOUR women.
Damon: Not you too?
Xander: What do you mean?
Damon: The girls made extra-strong eggnogs, then turned off their location sharing so they could be off-the-grid for the day.
Xander: WHAT!?
