“Oh, that would be fun. Maybe we could invite Marissa and Maggie too. Make it a girls’ night? Especially when the guys are all out of town.”
Her eyes go wide. “Oh my god, yes! We totally have to do that. Let me know when and where, we’ll loop the others in, and we’ll make it happen.”
I grin at her enthusiasm. It’s crazy that I’ve been here for like a month, and I already have a better group of friends than I had after years of living in Madison. While moving here might’ve been spur of the moment, the longer I’m here, the more I’m confident it was the right decision.
CHAPTER FORTY
Jason
Day1
How are you enjoying having the house all to yourself?
Hailey
Not as much as I expected
Miss me already, huh?
I didn’t realize how boring your place was before now
Excuse me, I think you mean *our* place
I said what I said
What would make it feel like yours too?
I’m going to have to get back to you on that one
You can change things, you know. Well, within reason
See? Always with the caveats
What? What else do I give you caveats about?
Oh, just … things
Uh-huh. Name one
I just did. You say I can make changes. But only within reason. And what does that mean, specifically? What do you consider a reasonable change?
What are you wanting to change?
Ah, I see, I see
You see? What do you see?
Within reason means run any changes by you first
Okay. Fine. Yes. But if it’s *our* home, that means I should have some say too, right?
I suppose. But you put everything here already, so it already has your input everywhere
Which once again leads me to asking what you’d want to change?
When I come up with something, I’ll let you know
Promise?
