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.
