She’s loud.
Max
She’s fucking beautiful, you should ask her out on a date.
I ignore him.
Me
It’s not my turn to help organize this year’s staffing event.
Cole
I knew you’d ignore Max. When was the last time you went on a date?
Me
Shut up.
Nathan
I know it’s not your turn to help organize this year, but with a baby on the way and a wedding to plan, I’m too busy. Max did it last year, and Cole the year before. I’ve moved you up a year. I’ll do it next year. Promise.
Cole
That seems fair.
Max
And we all agreed to be actively involved in the annual event. Like Dad, we’re being hands-on and staying in touch with our staff. It’ll be good for you. You’ve had your head stuck in that merger document for almost a year now, and that’s unhealthy.
Me
I don’t mind helping to make the decisions about the staff team-building day, but having dinner with a walking, talking piñata wasn’t what I had in mind for tonight.
Cole
Chess was though, right? Yawnnnnnn.
Max
Our steaks have arrived. Enjoy your meal with Little Miss. Kaleidoscope *winking emoji*
Nathan
Her name is Sapphire Feelgood. Stop calling her a kaleidoscope.
Me
I hate you all right now.
Cole
Just make this year’s event memorable.
Make sure you tell Sapphire to use local services only.
After last year’s disaster, when our speakers had to cancel because the airport runway was closed for emergency maintenance, we decided to book local vendors this year and for every year moving forward.
