Aiden
Watch it, princess. Our name looks great on the back of a jersey.
Jamie
Yeah, it does. And I’ve already ordered one for Kyrie to wear to the games.
Ashton
What about me?
Jamie
You’ll be in mine, Ace.
Ashton
Pretty sure yours won’t fit me by August, charmer.
Sabrina
Jameson Murphy, if you take this text thread in any kind of x-rated direction, I will make sure you regret that move for the rest of your life.
Finn
Okay, I’ve got to ask... How exactly do you plan on doing that?
Sabrina
Let’s just say you won’t enjoy it, but your father would.
Finn
I’m out.
Ashton
OMG
Jamie
Ohh . . . no. Mom.
Sabrina
Let’s just say I’ve seen the books you read, and I read worse.
ASHTON
