Ohhh, yesss. Tonight?

Cooper

Can’t tonight. I’m going out with my brothers to catch up. It’ll be a late one. I don’t know what time I’d show up and what drunken state I’d be in. Rain check?

Me

And the Coles weren’t invited to tag along? That’s not very company culture-like of you.

Kidding. Obviously.

Cooper

Sorry to say, I think it’s going to be a long time before Rhett gets an invite to one of our Spade nights out.

Me

Sigh.

Cooper

We’ll get there …

Me

Okay, Walter.

You sound just like him.

Cooper

It’s becoming my standard answer for everything lately.

Me

I think you’re manifesting peace.

Cooper

I’m manifesting normalcy so when we all move in together, it’s not hell.

Me

That too.

Cooper

Did you see the itinerary your assistant sent for our trip to Lake Louise?

Me

I’ve been in a meeting for the last hour and just saw it. I thought Rhett was flying there with us? And now, he’s not coming until the day after we arrive. Let me talk to him and find out what’s going on.

Cooper

I’m not complaining …

Me
