It’s not out of the question. Her user preferences do tend toward the “tear up the rulebook and set it on fire” end of the spectrum.

David:

Please stop talking about people’s love lives using your weird tech metaphors.

Caleb:

You’re both missing the truly important part, which is that Dominic hasn’t said a word about it. At all.

Logan:

He’s probably waiting for the right moment to drop it on the group before he throws a big celebration party or something

David:

I genuinely can’t be part of this conversation. Dominic is my client so I need to leave.

Logan:

So you admit you know something!

David has left the chat

Bennett:

That is the most confirming denial I’ve ever seen.

Logan:

So what do we think? They eloped in New York this weekend?

Caleb:

Maybe. But $500 says it was Tokyo. They came back from that trip looking sketchy as fuck. @Bennett why don’t you go and ask Jenna directly. She’ll tell you. She likes you.

Bennett:

I’m honestly not that brave. Let’s just wait for Dominic—he told us not to make a big deal about anything last week. Let’s take his lead.

Caleb:

Highly unfun. I’m going to harass the information out of my brother.

THE MAIN CHAT — MONDAY, 1:03 PM

Jenna:

In the years I’ve known this group, I’ve come to respect you for your astute minds and professionalism, even under pressure. Never, in all my years at Mercer Capital, have I seen a group of grown adults skulk around like children on a playground or act like paparazzi staking out a celebrity. So, if you must know: yes, Dominic and I are married. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision toward the end of our stay in Tokyo. We are currently giving our marriage a trial period in the open, and I would appreciate it if you could take this in stride until we come to a mutual decision regarding our marital status. Thank you for your understanding. Attached is the one photo we have of the occasion. You may share your excitement among yourselves.

DOMINIC TO JENNA — 1:04 PM

Dominic:

Proud of you, sweetheart. Also, for the record, watching you terrify our friends has made me want to give you a lifetime of orgasms.

Jenna:
