Lucas West is now friends with Colt Carter

Was there a way to avoid seeing the people Lucas became friends with? He was incredibly social, and half the content I saw on Facebook came from him.

On that note, I should reach out to him about my dinner on Saturday.

KC had obviously canceled on me, which I refused to get pissy about. I knew why he’d done it. I knew he didn’t want to meet any of my friends if they were involved in kink, though he’d never admit to it.

I opened up my conversation with Lucas and sent him a message.

Welcome home, friend. How was the South? Just a friendly reminder about my dinner on Saturday. You’ll be my social glue, so don’t you dare cancel on me.

Every now and then, I joined him in one of his two communities, and although several of them were very nice, they were mainly Lucas’s friends. Without him there, I’d become the person Penelope couldn’t stand once more.

Lucas replied within seconds.

Hell no, I’ll be there! The South was surprisingly amazing. At least one part of it. What can I bring?

Just himself. I already had the food and alcohol covered. All the alcohol.
