Rose: Marissa got a new lawyer boss, and he is hot, but grumpy?
Faith: Oh, I’m happy for Harry. He has been wanting to spend more time with Sal. She must be so excited.
Rose: FAITH, you missed the point. New boss . . . HOT.
Faith: Ha ha. Right, that too, but why grumpy?
Marissa: Remember how the guy from the corn maze was a lawyer . . .
What were the chances?
Seriously.
So much for Fate being on my side.
Rose: NO WAY! Pumpkin guy!
Marissa: I’m still not sure I’m at fault for that. I mean, he didn’t have to come after me, right?
Faith: OMG! For reals!!!
Marissa: Yep . . .
Faith: Oh my gosh! I’d be mortified.
Rose: Girl, he is HOT. Who cares?
Marissa: Ha ha, thanks for the help.
Faith: Time’s up. I’ll check in with you guys later.
Rose: Yeah, dessert soon at Merritt’s and I want EVERY detail!
Faith: Yes! Girl’s Night!
Marissa: Deal. Hopefully, he doesn’t fire me first.
Faith: Wait. OH MY GOSH!! Marissa! It’s Fate!!!
Marissa: . . .
Rose: Oh boy, here she goes.
Faith: No, I’m serious! Think about it!! Nan has a BF and Harry doesn’t need you at the law firm now . . . you know what that means?
I tilted my head and thought about what Faith was saying. Both the ties that held me to Hillsdale were dissolving. Maybe her order to Fate was coming true. Time to start over. Time to be anywhere but here.
Rose: It means it’s time for her to get a boyfriend.
Faith: No, Well . . . I mean, a boyfriend is always fun, but I was thinking
Marissa: London!
Rose: Foreign men!
Faith: LONDON!
We answered at the same time, and I laughed.
