Me: Of course. When?

Sara: December

Me: When?

Sara: I said what I said.

Me: Just downloaded the Hallmark app. Think we’ll be set for December.

Sara: I love you.

Me: Chinese takeout and The Holiday lined up for tonight. You want me to pick up anything else on my way back to the hotel?

Sara: You’re my favorite person.

Me: Didn’t answer my question, crazy girl.

Me: But you’re my favorite person too.

Sara: My brother is here! Brooks! What did you do? My brother is here!

Me: Love you, crazy girl. I’ll be home to pick you all up soon. My brothers are excited for your family to join us for Christmas.

Sara: You are the best person in the world! Just so you know. I’m crying. And you are so getting lucky tonight.

Me: I’m lucky every night, Sar. Merry Christmas.

Sara: So hear me out. You, me, a bottle of bubbly, and a hot tub at midnight.

Me: You don’t want to go to the party? Rumor is that Lake will be there.

Sara: Honestly, I just want to be alone with you.

Me: Where do you want to go for Valentine’s day?

Sara: hmmm. I mean I love Italian.

Me: So Italy?

Sara: Brooks Langfield, you are too rich for your own good. I meant an Italian restaurant. Although now that I’m thinking, I kind of want steak.

Me: Plane will be ready to take us to New York at six.

Sara: New York!

Me: Lennox is meeting us for dinner. You’re welcome.

Sara: Oh my God! You are literally the best.

THE HOCKEY REPORT

“Good Morning, Boston. I’m Eliza.”

“And I’m Colton. And this is the Hockey Report. How was your Valentine’s day, Liza?”

“Better than you can imagine.”

“Oh yeah? Hot date? Wait, don’t answer that. I really don’t want to know about my sister’s dating life.”
