Apparently, I’m the only one here not ruled by emotions or Harlequin romance plots.

Aunt Lemon

Maybe if you had been it wouldn’t have taken us so long to get together.

Duncle Silas

YOU WEREN’T READY.

I snort-laughed and covered it with a hand. They had this same argument on repeat. Kind of like Ross and Rachel’s “We were on a break!” argument.

Aunt Christy

I say she goes for it. What she and Blue had was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. Like me and Holden.

Uncle Holden

Facts. Plus Blue’s rich now and he could get us tickets to all of his games. And sick merch.

Then he sent Aunt Christy his bedroom eyes emoji. We knew that’s what the emoji meant because he’d used it so many times. How they only had two kids, I didn’t know. Good birth control, I guess.

Duncle Silas

How the heck did you two get on this thread?

Aunt Lemon

I invited them. I needed backup.

Duncle Silas:

%#@! Come home, Anna. You have school!

Aunt Christy

Stay, Anna. Grand gesture the heck out of Blue until he remembers every wonderful thing about you, darling girl.

Duncle Silas

No grand gestures. Just common sense.

Aunt Christy

Don’t listen to him. He doesn’t know the meaning of grand gesture.

Duncle Silas

I GAVE UP THE RANCH FOR CLEM.

HAPPILY.

Uncle Holden

No. Silas is right. Come home, Anna.

Duncle Silas

Thank you! Finally, somebody who sees reason.
