GROUP CHAT

Cousin Taryn

OMG! Did you see the enormous bouquet of lilies and roses that Dante sent to Georgia last week? It. Was. MASSIVE!!!!

Savannah

No, but I got your pictures! It was TRULY stunning, Georgia. I couldn’t stop staring at them.

Thank you. <3

I think Dante really likes me…

Cousin Taryn

You mean LOVES you. He sends you a new handwritten card from every business trip and calls you every night. I’ve overheard you all talking for HOURS whenever I visit.

I think it’s sweet that he’s holding off on proposing to you in front of your family since he had that emergency meeting last year.

Savannah

It’s super sweet. I’ll have my fiancé talk to him and get some tips.

Grandma Hattie

You should see what he sent her to the resort last week! .mp4 .video.

Savannah

OMFG!!!! How did he get them to set up that Eiffel Tower cake?

Cousin Taryn

You told him that he HAS to come this Christmas, right? It’s been six months!

Georgia

Has it been that long already? Wow, time is flying…

Imark my calendar for the December day when Dante will die tragically in a freak paragliding accident, and then they can forget he ever existed.

And I can stop spending so much money on this ruse…
