You know you guys were just here, right? It’s not like I haven’t seen you in two years.
Cooper
Yeah, but you haven’t been to Boston in two years. It’s different when we’re all together at home. I don’t know why it is. It just is.
Elliot
He’s right. It’s the rule. Please say you’re coming.
Me
Fuck, fine. I want to come. But there’s a thing.
Elliot
You want to bring Jo with you.
Me
How did you know?
Elliot
I can sense these things.
Noah
Wait, what? Is there a Jo thing happening? How did I miss this?
Cooper
I think the better question is, how did I miss it? I’m way more intuitive than the rest of these assholes. Elliot is all preoccupied with his dog and his plants and all that computer shit he has going on, and Noah is too busy, like, looking at himself in the mirror and giving himself finger guns like the aged frat guy he is.
Noah
Fuck off! I’m busy because I’m a surgeon.
Me
Oral surgeon.
Also, none of you missed it. It just happened.
Elliot
If by just happened you mean that it’s been happening all summer, but you just made it official?
Me
It’s not official. It’s…well, I don’t know what it is, but it’s something.
Noah
How does that make you feel?
Me
Fucking terrified all the time unless she’s right next to me. When she’s there, I forget to be scared.
