“She’s texting with her sweetheart of a boyfriend.” Mags beams at me, her hands clasped beneath her chin.
“A boyfriend?” Chris tilts his head. “Since when?”
I press my phone to my chest in mock offense, standing and striding toward the exit. “Don’t challenge my main character energy.”
Chris just laughs along as I help my grandmother up and escort her to lunch.
It’s better if no one else knows about the fake relationship with Tenny…even if it’s starting to feel less fake.
Waves Group Chat
Tenny
I think I’m going a little overboard for my fake date tonight. Can I run something by you?
Rhett
Shoot.
Shane
Why do you keep adding me back into this chat?
Tenny
Part of the team, Shane. It’s pretty simple. Now, can wefocus back on me?
Trevor
When AREN’T we focusing on you?
Tenny
Har. Har. But seriously, I want everything to go off without a hitch tonight.
Rhett
I thought it was fake and she hated you. Who cares if it’s a bad date?
Colton
Duh. Tenny caught feelings. He cares.
Trevor
Is this true?
Tenny
I just need to know if renting out a bowling alley, a movie theater, and putt-putt course is too much.
Rhett
Why all three?
Tenny
So she can have her pick of activitiesafter dinner.
