Rhyett
Oh, deal, Ax. Not like we didn’t all see the sock on your door in high school.
Axel
Right. Discreet.
Finn
About as discreet as Yogi Bear in Manhattan.

Sorry, guys, just got off work. Can anybody recap?
Kaia
Hey! Funny. Me too! Thousands of miles apart, and nothing stops twin telepathy.
Why is Axel trying to yeet himself off the thread?
Laughing,I set my phone in my bag and muddled through the contents on the bottom, pulling out my new lipstick and reapplying it in my compact mirror. Unexpected perk of being Mrs. Hart: in addition to having more than I could ever need, brands would do just about anything to send free products for me to try in hopes of a photo landing on Instagram.
How ironic was it that the people who didn’t need freebies were the people who received them?
A gentle knock had me turning from my mauve lip stain and grinning when I spotted Miranda, who lingered in the car window. I knocked on the divider so they knew I was getting out and lunged for the door. We’d been getting together every two weeks like clockwork to get our nails done together and exchange books with our mini club—comprised entirely of us and our cosmetologists.
“Hiiiiiiiiii!!!” We squealed together, wrapping each other up before my hands flew adoringly to her round belly.
“How’s baby bump?”
“They’re good. Been using mommy’s bladder as a punching bag, so that’s not optimal, but what are you gonna do?”
“Miss ma’am,” I exclaimed, immediately animating my voice as I bent down to talk at her belly like a lunatic. “You have to be nice to your mama, you hear me?”
“Still convinced it’s a girl?”
“Just got a feeling,” I supplied for the dozenth time as I straightened. “You look beautiful. Got that mama glow going for you.”
“That’s just sweat, darling.”
