Cooper
Oh, my god. That’s romance novel shit, Jord.
Noah
How would you know? You don’t read romance novels.
Cooper
And you do?
Noah
Nah, I just know shit.
Elliot
It’s okay to be scared. I’m proud of you for taking this step. I know you’ve liked her for a while.
Me
I more than like her. But there’s stuff. We live in two different places, and I don’t know what happens at the end of the summer.
Elliot
Listen Jord, those are just details. You know better than anyone that life is short, and we only get this one. Don’t let that kind of thing hold you back. If this is really something, you guys can figure it out.
Me
This might be premature. It just happened, and we haven’t even talked about it yet. But I really do want to ask her to come with me to Boston.
Noah
So ask her. If you want her to be a part of your life, make her a part of your life.
Me
Fuck. I don’t remember how to do any of this.
Cooper
You’re already doing it. Now do the next thing and ask her to come with you.
Me
If I do, can you all promise me you’ll be normal?
Noah
No.
Elliot
Nope.
Cooper
Definitely not.
