Skye: I can kind of see it.
Janie: Right?!
Skye: I love Ben like family, of course, but…don’t get hurt again
Janie: I won’t.
Skye: Then I’m happy for you
I hesitate. How do you wrap up a text like this? A random just-so-you-know message after months of radio silence? Ugh. Just another way my life has unraveled beyond recognition. I decide teasing Benedict is the obvious choice.
Janie: Thanks. Just wanted to tell you myself, he has a big mouth.
Skye: Ha
Skye: [heart hands emoji]
I exhale.
That’s it, she bought it.
The train has left, the cat is officially out.
Another message comes through.
Benedict Clark: Well done, wifey!
Janie: Absolutely not.
Benedict Clark: LOL
Benedict Clark: Just got a very graphic text from Skye about your heart and my testicles (that’s the exact word she used)
Benedict Clark: Guess this means she believed you?
Janie: Guess so
Benedict Clark: Fantastic! #BANIE
Janie: Again, no.
Benedict Clark: Yes.
Benedict Clark: See you in a couple hours for shopping
Janie: Shopping?
Benedict Clark: Wifey needs a ring
Janie: Whatever Skye said about your testicles, I’m going to do it myself if you ever call me wifey again.
Benedict Clark: You don’t mean that
Janie: [knife emoji] [scissors emoji]
Benedict Clark: Noted.
Benedict Clark: XOXO! [heart emoji] [kiss emoji]
