Alice - three weeks later

Autumn: Hey Ali!

Me: Hey yourself! Finally pulled yourself away from that husband of yours. Is this the first daylight you've seen? Has your vagina seized up yet?

Autumn: My vagina is working perfectly. Ask Sawyer. *smirk emoji *

Me: I'll take your word for it.

Autumn: We get back from our honeymoon on Friday. You and Carter are coming for dinner on Saturday. We've just decided.

Me: You've just decided? What if I'm busy?

Autumn: I'm your only friend. That's impossible.

Me: Carter is my friend now too. Fuck you very much. He saved my life at the wedding. Pretended to be my boyfriend when their weird family friend was hitting on me.

Autumn: Ooooh. Fake boyfriend. You're a real-life book trope waiting to happen.

Me: Absolutely NOT. That is one mess I am not willing to make. Ha!

Autumn: Probably for the best, Ali. Probably for the best!
