Me
Okay, really? Three times in a row?
Once, I get. Twice, shit happens. But three times? This feels intentional.
I hope you’re okay.

GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN(DAMENTAL RIGHTS) AND GOOD SEX
Piper
Are we all free for dinner tonight?
Emmy
I’m in. It’ll let me gloat some more about my victory against the Stars.
Me
It was the preseason, babe. Wins and losses don’t mean anything.
Piper
Hasn’t your team lost their first 5 regular season games?
Maven
We all know the Stars are going to kick the Sea Crabs’ asses at the next matchup in December.
Emmy
Wow. What happened to hoes before bros?
Me
Loyalty to our team goes much deeper, Em. But we still love you!
Madeline
I know Hudson plays on the Stars, but other than that, I have no emotional attachment to hockey. I’m proud of your win, Emmy, and I hope you do it again!
Emmy
That’s what I’m talking about. Thank you, Mads.
Madeline
As for dinner, I’m free tonight, but I can’t stay out too late. Lucy has a field trip tomorrow, and I volunteered as a chaperone.
