Matt’s coming to Hobart?
FIONA
Just a video call
But he’s requested that I bring the kids to Melbourne next month so they can meet their siblings in person
Including the new siblings – Laura will have given birth by then
Spoiler: I’ll be asking you to take my mind off it a lot. Like, A LOT.
SATOSHI
Spoiler: delighted to x
But question – when in Feb will you be in Melbourne?
FIONA
End of the month
We’re on a monthly visitation schedule, but Matt asked that the Feb one be as late as possible in case Laura goes past her due date
Which she won’t. Twins are almost always early.
Which he should remember from when the girls were born, but…
SATOSHI
Will you be there on the 28th?
FIONA
Yes. Why?
SATOSHI
That’s the Aus Somm awards dinner, and I have a +1
You could meet some people in the wine world – make some connections for your column
FIONA
Can I think about it?
SATOSHI
Of course
FIONA
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I’ll have the kids with me
And I don’t exactly want to leave them with Matt, Laura, and their half-siblings they’ve only just met
Including two newborns
