ME:

show off

JULIET:

Cal. How was it?

ME:

fine

GREYSON:

Reticence is my trademark.

PAISLEY:

I love when you use big words.

JULIET:

Guys, focus here.

MYLES:

Told you Jules picked the perfect person.

ME:

i was shocked you tried to set me up with one of your friends. the last time i asked you if i could date your friend you threatened to go all dixie chicks on me

JULIET:

That was Liz. We were in college. And you were in your playboy-extraordinaire phase chasing anything in a skirt. Of course I wasn’t letting you near her.

PAISLEY:

I forgot about that. Liz would have eaten you alive, Cal.

ME:

thanks for the vote of confidence sis

but youre right i was a jerk back then

JULIET:

Back to Hailey. Did you break her heart?

ME:

no im not her type and we had the “we make great friends” speech. first date is in the bag although it was weirdly like being on a date with my sister

not that ive actually done that unless you count our secret ice cream runs

MYLES:
