You guys really suck, you know that?

Oh, big bro, you know we love you. Who showed upat the nursery?

Jenna.

I feel the silence through the group chat. Everyone is radio silent for a long minute.

Rina:

Is she still there? I’m on my way.

Rina:

Lennox:

And now that we’re all grown, it’s time for me to finally take some time for me and go after what I really want in my life.

Me:

I’m good, you guys, I promise. I’m going to call Ainsley to come over here, and I’ll be good.

Lennox:

I would call you pussy-whipped, but Ainsley is the shit. Have you invited her over for family dinner yet?

Rina:

Yeah, what the hell? Are you scared to bring her around us?

Willow:
