I miss you.

And I’m sorry I got all weird at the rehearsal dinner.

Liam

Did that happen?

Me

We can pretend like it didn’t.

Liam

Not a fan that we’re doing this over text, but fuck it.

I’ve never been married. I don’t know the emotions you might have been feeling, but you never have to apologize for what’s going on in your head.

And if I said or did anything that didn’t help the situation, I’m sorry.

Me

You didn’t. I just have a lot on my mind.

Liam

Are you going to team dinner the day after tomorrow?

Me

I am. Are you?

Liam

Yup.

Me

You’ve been going to more this season. I’m proud of you!

Liam

I go because you’re there, Piper.

Want to talk then like real humans?

If you feel like telling me what’s on your mind, I’ll listen.

If you want to talk about condoms instead, we can do that too.

Me

I’d like that.

The telling you what’s on my mind part.

And I guess the condom part too.

“I can’t believehow far along you are.” I smile at Maven’s baby bump. “You’re freaking glowing, Mae.”
