CHERRY HAS A BOYFRIEND?
Hope
Mom, wasn’t Aunt Lou your aunt by marriage?
Faith
Tom’s back???
Honny
He came back to pack his things. You should see their HOUSE. Instead of packing, he’s left little sticky notes all over everything. He’s not going to leave until they’ve had a drawn out discussion about every paperclip. It’s the most Tom has ever Tommed.

CHERRY HAS A BOYFRIEND???
Cherry
I *am* on this thread. And Tom *is* packing his things. And I don’t have a boyfriend, but I’m seeing someone.
Joy
WHO?????
Faith
Oh, Cherry, no! We were going to introduce you to this great guy at church! He’s an architect!
Honny
And a widower. A widower without kids—that’s like a double unicorn.
Hope
Are you guys talking about Brian Nillson??
Faith
Yes.
Hope
Did Kendra die?
Honny
Yes, of skin cancer.
Faith
Yes. Last year. It was so sad.
Mom
She was a wonderful sister in faith.
