Bex: Good morning. You know what I love? Snow. It’s the best. And orgasms.
Me: ?!?
Connor: Wtf
Bex: That’s what I’m imagining Winnie is thinking right now. Lol
Connor:
Me: *eyeroll* The last time we spoke, you were with Val and an entire band of guys in a hotel. I was expecting an orgy confession.
Bex: Sorry to disappoint you. Unlike your new boyfriend, who you must be having fun with or else you’d have been on the phone with me all day yesterday instead of this continued radio silence.
Me: I was baking profiteroles for the party and practicing my song while recovering from a near-death experience. You have such a dirty mind.
Connor: You can’t bake
Me: You don’t know my life.
Bex: He is like 80% of your life.
Connor: Please. I’m 100%
Connor: Veronica says hi
Me: Woohoo FDV is my MVP!
Bex: ?
Me: FDV=Front Desk Veronica. The future mother of his babies.
Bex: Were you both hooking up while I was stuck listening to this band practice their cover of Pink Pony Club a thousand times?
Me: Love that song!
Bex: That’s why I told them to learn it. Don’t change the subject. Connor? What’s up with FDV?
Connor: VERONICA is great
Connor: She’s actually got a job in the city. She used to work here so she was covering a few shifts for a friend having surgery and got stuck in the storm.
Connor: I think I should ask her out when we get back.
Me: He let her sleep in my room. Future Uncle Win is best wingman evah!
Bex: Can’t wait to meet her. Storm ended last night and the locals are on it. The road up the mountain should be open soon, and we’re running a few errands before we...crash a sweet old couple’s party. Maybe we’ll just hang out in your room while you sing, Winnie.
Connor: Nah. There are so many Finns no one will notice if you’re there. Even fake exes will be busy. BTW, did you know this lodge is owned by a friend of Ellen Finn? And that the “sweet old couple” came here alone once a year as soon as their kids were old enough, but never learned to ski because they were too busy snuggling by the fire? I do. Because I’ve been snowed in with their family all weekend and they might have adopted me.
Bex: Conman will have all the tea now!
Me: Tea talk: I shared some of your stories about the Finns with Michael. When you see Batman, don’t tell him.
Bex: Why would I see him? Oh, you mean at the lodge. Right…
Bex: Wait. You’re having sex, baking things and SHARING CONFIDENCES with him? Who are you? Did someone steal this phone? Winnie, is that you?
Connor: I bet he’s sharing more than secrets. I might not be the only one having babies *wink*
