TEXTS
Zachary
Bummer on the game last night, O.
Quinlan
You looked great out there, though!
Ellie
At least they got a point. And it’s still the beginning of the season.
Penelope
Our resident hockey expert is here to school us all.
Beau
Is anyone watching *my* game tonight?
Abigail
Sorry, Beau. I’ll be on a flight.
Quinlan
To be fair, you didn’t watch Owen’s game either.
Abigail
What can I say? I’m an equal opportunity sports hater. I’ll cheer for you if you make the Super Bowl though, little brother.
Beau
I’m less than three years younger than you, you know.
Abigail
So? Doesn’t mean I can’t give you shit.
Beau
Love you too.
Ellie
Where are you headed, Abs? I haven’t heard about the latest trip.
Abigail
A quick trip to Paris to meet with a boutique that’s interested in stocking my designs. I doubt it’ll pan out, but if they do, that would be amazing.
Plus, you know. It’s an excuse to get authentic French food.
Ellie
I’m jealous. I’d love to go abroad sometime. I’ve still never been out of the country.
Owen
Thanks, fam. I appreciate the support.
Even if it comes with a reminder that we lost in OT.
Just got back to the room after post game press and everything.
Zachary
Anything for you, my man. We miss you down in Portland.
Wesley
You still owe us drinks after bailing in May.
Owen
Yeah, yeah. I’ll be home during the holidays and we can all go out then.
Lucy
Just rub it in that everyone else is legal except for me, why don’t you.
Abigail
One day, cuz. I promise it’s not as exciting as it seems.
Owen
Speaking of drinks, Beau, while I’m down in your neck of the woods, we should grab one. We have tonight off, so maybe I could swing by the game with a few of the guys.
Beau
Just let me know, and I’ll get you tickets.
I’d love to see you, man.
Owen
Bet. Let me talk to them and I’ll let you know.
Zachary
What are we, chopped liver?
Wesley
Apparently this is what we get for not being professional athletes, Z.
Beau
You know you two could fly down and visit sometime. I have a guest room. It’s always open.
Quinlan
They just like to complain.
Abigail
And don’t we know it.
Lucy
Sometimes I feel like I’m surrounded by children.
Abigail
You say that like I’m not ten years older than you??
Zachary
She’s an old soul.
Wesley
Whatever that means.
Zachary
We’re used to it by now.
Lucy
I’m rolling my eyes at all of you.
Ellie
It’s a good thing I keep my phone on do not disturb during class, otherwise my students would think someone was dying.
Zachary
Yeah, yeah. I gotta get back to the library anyway.
Wesley
Can’t let your rival beat you, huh?
Zachary
No. She’s infuriating.
Abigail
You can just admit that you like her, Zach. It’s okay. Those are called feelings, and all humans have them.
Owen
While this is amusing, I have to go. Team meeting.
Miss you all. Talk soon.
