Julie
Holy shit. I just got home. How did you know any of this happened?
I move to my couch and turn on the TV.
Blaire
Fairy Godmothers are camped out all over Cozy Creek, trying to get a peek of you two.
She sends a photo of Nick’s hand on my back, and me looking up at him with what can only be described as heart eyes.
Julie
Please tell me that picture wasn’t sent to the entire book club chat.
Autumn
I really need to join book club again.
Blaire
It was. It’s like a live action feed of what’s going onwith you two.
Julie
We are JUST friends!
Autumn
Friends who look at each other like they’re starving and at a buffet.
Julie
Okay, but he is hot! What do you expect?
Blaire
I want a hot man for autumn. WTF?! I’m so jealous! I’m going to die alone with my cat!
Autumn
No, you’re not. It’s just a matter of time.
Julie
IT ISN’T REAL!
My phone vibrates with another text.
Craig
Really? Already parading him around town? I thought you had more respect for yourself.
My heart immediately races when I see it’s Craig. It’s not a welcoming feeling. I take a screenshot and send it to my bestie chat but refuse to respond to him. I’m not letting him ruin this … whatever this is.
Autumn
Wow, he’s jealous!
