Astronauts have to pass calculus.

OLIVIA

Sick burn, Darbs. And for the record, I took calculus in college.

DARBY

But did you pass?

OLIVIA

MAC

Everyone shut up and let Olivia tell us what she wants to do with her life now.

TESS

We are sitting in a totally silent room, Mac.

MAC

SHHHH!

OLIVIA

The one downside to my plan is I’ll have to go back to school.

DARBY

That’s no big deal. Med school was four years, and I got through it.

TESS

Oh. You went to med school, Darby?

MAC

SHHHH!

OLIVIA

Anyway, I think I want to?—

“Okay, kids.” Natalie sails into the room. “Who’s ready to blow this popsicle stand?”

All four McCoys look at each other and shout, “ME!”

My palms are in full-on sweat mode.

Do people put deodorant directly on their hands? Either way, it’s too late for that hack. Olivia texted a few minutes ago that they’re almost here, and by the time I run out front, Mac’s already rolling up in his rental car. Tess and Darby are in the backseat. Liv’s up front, smiling through the window.

I’ve never seen a more beautiful sight.
