Noah:Okay, sorry. Just wanted to brighten your day.

Lucy:You always do

Lucy::-)

???

Lucy:So ... do you have plans for Thanksgiving?

Noah:Nope.

Lucy:Really? I thought you’d be seeing your parents.

Noah:I’d much rather spend it with you.

Noah:I mean, assuming that’s why you’re asking.

Lucy:Yeah. Well, Piper invited us to ‘Friendsgiving.’ Aidan’s mom is hosting it.

Lucy:Pretty sure Steph and the kids will be there too, plus Chief Hudson.

Lucy:Speaking of … am I the only one picking up a vibe there?

Noah:A vibe??

Lucy:Between Mrs. Walker and Chief Hudson.

Noah:They’re friends, have been for decades.

Lucy:Sigh. Men. I’m well aware of their friendship, but you’ve never noticed the way he looks at her?

Noah:No, I haven’t, and we shouldn’t be speculating about it either. That’s my boss we’re talking about and I won’t participate in any gossip.

Lucy:Oh, give me a break. I know you secretly love it when I share the latest chatter from the café, so don’t even try to pull that holier-than-thou crap with me, Noah Gardner.

Noah:**eye roll**

Noah:I just love that YOU love it.

Lucy:No emoji this time?

Noah:I used up my quota in our last exchange and I still feel a little sick over it.

Lucy:LOL! You goof!

Noah:I’ve never been, nor will I ever be a goof.

Lucy:Okay, okay, but back to Thanksgiving. Do you want to spend it at Casa Walker?

Noah:If you’re there then that’s where I want to be, so yes.

Lucy:God dammit, Noah, are you trying to make me swoon?

Noah:Did it work?
