Yup. I just threw up. Thanks for that.

Kenzie

I mean, clinically speaking... yeah. Fuck it. Even by textbook examples, he’s pretty fucking big.

Gracie

Please stop. I’m begging. I haven’t eaten enough to puke any more than I already have.

Brynlee

Guys. The way he was looking at her when she was holding Knight. Our boy is gone for our girl.

Lindy

Could you make us sound any more incestuous!

Gracie

Wait. Is it really more than sex?

Everly

Okay. Serious talk for a minute here. I can’t believe you even have to ask that. I didn’t see him watching her holding Knight, but I know the look. It’s the one Nixon’s had on his face since the first time you slept over and wore a bikini. Pretty sure he jerked off to that image all through high school.

Brynlee

Umm, eww. Leave it to you to ruin what started as such a promising statement.

Lindy

It’s a compliment.

Gracie

Umm . . .

Kenzie

He did not.

Gracie

Shut up. Even you couldn’t have been that oblivious, Kenzie.

Kenzie

Even me? What does that mean?

Lindy

It means you never realized the way everyone looked at you because you didn’t care. You had us, and you had sports and books, and you never really cared about boys. Not back then. And those high school boys were looking. You were, and still are, hot as hell. And what’s hotter is that you don’t even know it. You really were oblivious.

Brynlee

Gonna go out on a limb here and say you had her until you said oblivious again.

Kenzie
