Lando

Not just anyone. BLAKE FREAKING BOURGEOIS? Seriously?

Lilley

Holy cow, you’re really dating The Other Bourgeois? I honestly didn’t see that one coming, but I am totally HERE. FOR. IT.

I curl my lip up in disgust when my sister’s last comment comes through. I know she’s just kidding, but I hate the way everyone continues to judge Blake. And as one of his worst critics over the years, I feel obligated to fix that.

Loren

Surprise! *party popper emoji*

But he prefers when people address him as “The Hotter Bourgeois,” fyi.

Lilley

*heart react*

Lando

You’re kidding right?

I went through the trouble of setting you up with a great guy—a doctor—and this is how you repay me?

Loren

Rowan was nice, but Blake is a catch, too, you know. He’s handsome and witty. He graduated at the top of his class in law school. He’s financially stable, and he’s always volunteering in the community. He’s good with kids.

What’s not to love?

“Yeah, Lo, what’s not to love?” I mumble, mocking myself aloud.

Lilley

He almost sounds too good to be true. Are you sure he doesn’t have any skeletons in the closet? No illegitimate kids of his own?

Loren

No kids from previous relationships, but he does have a really nice set of abs.

Lando

You cannot be serious.

Loren

Actually …

*gif of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite saying “I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious”*

The best thing about him is that Landry can’t scare him off.

Lando

THE HELL I CAN’T.

Loren
