Fun fact. She told us about a bad dream she had a few nights ago.

Here we fucking go.It was only a matter of time before my sister figured out everything. And I didn’t even fucking care who knew anymore. It would be over before it got started, so they could say all they wanted. None of it mattered. I was doing what I wanted to do, which was to find a way to stop by the barn every fucking morning. Go for a ride with Presley before we’d fuck like bunnies and talk about life. I talked to her about things I didn’t even allow myself to think about most of the time. We had dinner with Gracie almost every night, and then she’d go home, and I’d put my daughter to bed, and then Presley and I would talk on the phone all night until we fell asleep. So, fuck anyone who wanted to say anything about what we were doing. I would neither confirm nor deny. This would be my shit show to clean up in a couple of weeks when she left. It was no one’s fucking business.

Again. I was there. And it wasn’t a fun fact. It was a fucking nightmare about a horse.

Georgia

Oh, she loves Sally so much. She’s dreaming about her.

Hugh

Damn. I’d have bought her a horse years ago if I’d known how much she’d love riding.

Finn

I tried. The OLD ball and chain shut me down.

Am I the fucking ball and chain? That makes no sense. And stop calling me old, asshole.

Brinkley

Back to the point. She told us every detail about the field she was running through. The way she chased after her horse but couldn’t catch her.

Georgia

I’m literally crying right now. This is so sweet.

Thanks for this wonderful retelling about my daughter’s bad dream, but I’ve got to make a house call for Mr. Wigglestein. He’s chewed through his stitches, and Mrs. Remington thinks it might be infected.

Finn

You took his testicles, man. He’s just trying to find them.

Hugh

God rest Mr. Wigglestein’s balls.

Brinkley

Hello? I wasn’t finished.

Is there a point to this story? If so, go ahead and make it sometime today.

Brinkley

Well, Gracie shared how she came running out to find her daddy, but he wasn’t in his bedroom. But she was thrilled to see Presley in the kitchen in the middle of the night. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!

She’d stopped by to borrow something.

Hugh

Night goggles?

Finn

Your penis?
