Did you stay up late watching Department Q?

Reese

I did…

I couldn’t help it! It was just getting good.

Sutton

Reese

Hey, don’t judge. You stayed up late Thursday to watch two whole episodes.

She laughed so hard, her stomach started to hurt, holding it until she calmed down a little bit.

Sutton

I know, I know. I feel the same as you. It was getting too good.

He didn’t reply, so she set her phone down, then picked it back up when it went off.

Reese

So, what are you up to today? Still working on the seating chart?

She looked down at the paper and giggled with a shake of her head.

That man might be a mind reader.

Sutton

Maybe…

He sent a string of laughing emojis, and she huffed a little bit.

Sutton

Come on, it’s not that funny.

Reese

It’s a little funny.

Reese

Have you made any progress?

“I wish.” She glanced back at the paper with a sigh.

Seating important people together was harder than it seemed, especially depending on where they were on certain issues.

Thankfully, the country music artists who agreed to appear not only as guests, but special performers were easy. It was a small group, so they only needed one table.

Sutton

Unfortunately, not. I’ve tried to put the mayor with three different tables, but they are all on the other side of the issues she’s voting for.

The dots popped up for a moment, then disappeared, then popped up again before he replied.
