Meghan

I’m younger than you. I was just trying to reference something you might know, gramps.

Ben

Somebody hold me back!

Alex

Pipe down you two. Savannah, why are you needing a wingman?

I’m not about to embarrass Noah and tell everyone I caught him tickling his pickle—although, I’ve never seen a picklethatbig—especially when I all but offered myself up to him afterward.Only to be rejected. I go with the safest option and it’s hardly a lie anyway.

Savannah

I just think it’s time to get back out there.

Alex

Okay, well, Ben is going to make sure that happens.

I’m so upset I can’t come!

My ‘husband’ and I are going to THE dinner.

Savannah

Have fun.

I can just tell that you two are going to end up together!

Alex

That would be a nightmare.

Keep me posted on your antics tomorrow. And Ben, make sure she’s safe.

Ben

Why does everyone think I’m a liability?

Meghan

Because the second a pretty boy comes along, you’ll forget all about your mission.

Ben

Just know I’m pouting right now.

I close down the chat, a smile on my face as I relax back into the cushions. Tomorrow night I’ll finally get over Noah Parker.

The dress that I bought on my shopping spree with Sutton pops into my mind and a mischievous smile takes over my face. It’s the perfect dress for seduction.

Watch out New York. Here I come.

TWENTY-NINE
