Kate

That was last year and before he was an asshole with that slutty redhead.

No offense to redheads (Luna).

Me

He cheated on you?!

P.S. None taken.

Kate

No. We’d have to be dating for that to happen, and I can confirm we are absolutely NOT dating.

Felicity

She’s totally over it as you can see.

Kate

I am. Anyway, whatever. Back to Luna and Zach…

I love them already.

Me

Honestly, only friends.

Felicity

So, Jon’s been talking shit. I swear to God, he fancies himself as some sort of dating agent.

Me

Huh?

Felicity

My crazy fiancé. He seems to think you two are destined.

Kate

Can I just step in here and say that Jon was a fuckboy twelve months ago. Set eyes on Felicity and chased her until she fell head over heels. He now thinks every relationship is like this.

I laugh, hard.

Felicity

There are no lies in the above statement.

I’m finishingup packing my bag for a three-night stay in Seattle when there’s a knock on my door.

Heading down the stairs, I know exactly who it is just by their knock.

“Hey, darling.” Mom pulls me into an embrace as soon as I open it.

“Hey.” She barely ever comes over, so her just showing up like this takes me by surprise. I have an hour before I need to be at the beach barbecue. I would pass it up, but since Zach will be there, I’m not.
