Me
I think you need a crash course in how relationships work.
Jordan
Jo’s coming too. I’m finishing up back-to-back twenty-four-hour shifts. If you think I’m spending any more time away from my girl after that, you’re high.
Noah
You know, once upon a time we had guys hangs. No girls allowed.
Me
Amelia invited Hannah.
Noah
Say no more. Any requests for dessert?
Cooper
You know she has a boyfriend, right?
Noah
I mean, does she? She’s been here for weeks, and I haven’t seen that asshole darken her doorstep.
Cooper
Have you asked her about it? You clearly like her, and she’s living one floor above you.
Jordan
That would require them having an actual conversation, and that’s a hard pass from her.
Me
Also, why are you so insistent that he’s an asshole?
Jordan
This. Jo said he’s a nice guy. Apparently, they’ve been together for years.
Noah
I just know. I’m changing the subject now. El, how was Maine? Are you on your way back now?
Cooper
Did you solve our very mysterious mystery?
Me
How Maine was is the reason for dinner. We’ll be back in an hour.
