I change the subject. ‘Oh, and Isy’s getting us into some fancy awards show thing onSunday. So that should be exciting.’
Eva squeals, ‘Ooooh thatISexciting! Is it the Oscars? The Emmys? The People’s Choice Awards?’
‘Er, no ...’ I say, a little embarrassed. ‘It’s something called The Teddy Awards.’
Eva tries and fails to disguise her disappointment. ‘Ah, um, right, I think I’ve heard of that one!’ she says, mustering fake enthusiasm.
‘No you haven’t, and Ihadn’t either,’ I reassure her. ‘But it’s still an awards show! An awards show in downtownLA!’
‘That is amazing,’ she enthuses. ‘Do you know which celebs will be there?’
I shake my head. ‘No idea. But if I don’t Netflix and Chill with an actual Netflix star on this trip, I will cancel my subscription and write a stern letter.’
