“What the fuck?”

I needed backup to make sense of this. I ran to my nest to grab my phone and opened our group text message, now sporting the nameOmega Overlords Live Again.

Olive

Code red alert!

Ivy

What’s wrong??

Olive

Lars just gave me some books as a courting present

Summer

That’s…good? You like to read

Lucy

I saw him after he left the bookstore!

Olive

He said he got them for me in case I wanted to read some romance

Summer

Ok?? Still not seeing a problem

I sent them a picture of the stack of books, which includedAtlas Shrugged,Dune,1984, andThe Catcher in the Rye.

Lucy

Oh my god LARS NO

Ivy

Well…that’s not great

Summer

That’s what Lars reads?? Those are the biggest red flag books I’ve ever seen. Did he google “most obnoxious bro books of all time?”

Olive

I just don’t understand why he thinks these books are romantic!!

Lucy

Noooooooooo

I can’t believe this

Now I’ll never get to have a sister-in-law!!
