Lucky

Yup. You’re the newest girl. Ergo - New. Girl.

Jamie

Ergo? Who are you trying to impress.

Lexie

Me. I told him he needs to expand his vocabulary.

Jamie

And we’re starting with that?

Lucky

Fuck you all. At least I don’t have questions about this month’s book, dickhead.

Jamie

Whatever. When are we meeting?

Dillan

Next week?

Kaleigh

Perfect. Where?

I watch the text chain go silent for a few minutes and know it’s my fault. I may never have joined book club before, but that doesn’t mean I’m not aware of where they’ve always met. West End. And now they’re not going to because of me.

Delaney

Don’t worry about me, guys. I’m going to have so many last-minute things to do next week for the wedding, I doubt I’ll make it anyway.

Ashton

I was going to say our house. I’m not really feeling up to being in a bar right now. This kid is gigantic and pushing down on my bladder constantly.

Jamie

Our house it is. Usual night and time?

Kaleigh

Yup.

Dillan

Works for me.

Ryker

Sounds good.
