Of course she’s real!

Trent

You were so right, dude. There’s definitely something going on between her and Aiden again. Those high school sparks have been rekindled. Nana Dee is going to flip when I tell her.

Dom

SEE! I told you guys! I might currently be out of the game, but that doesn’t stop me from recognizing the game.

Vincent

Piper wants all the details. Like the ‘who, what, where, when, why’ of the encounter.

Trent

Let’s just say I spent all evening in their company while doing renos at the Red Lion, and heart eyes don’t even begin to cover it.

Dom

Aww, look at our little Aiden. Flirting with a girl over bar renos.

Vincent

Shut up! Shut up! I’m transcribing for Piper in real time in case that wasn’t clear. What’s Cora like? Tell me everything!

Trent

Super nice girl. Mixes a damn good cocktail apparently. Should be fun to have around at parties.

Vincent

Heck yes! The moment I stop breastfeeding I’m taking Cora and Chloe out for drinks.

It was obvious Vincent was still transcribing what Piper was saying. Considering they had a newborn, didn’t they have better things to do than hang out in the group chat?

Trent sent a thumbs-up.

Trent

My favorite thing is that she doesn’t take any of Aiden’s shit. Like…at all. I’ve never seen our boy so flustered. Not even with Steph when we were back at school.

I grimaced at the mention of my college girlfriend. What a train wreckthathad turned out to be.

Dom

Hmm… I’ve been busy with Hailey lately, but I distinctly noticed less bickering in the office, so things must be progressing in a good direction between them.

Trent

Frankly, I don’t know what she sees in Aiden. He almost hammered a nail into his thumb tonight.

Vincent

Be nice to him. Piper’s words, not mine.

Paul

That’s awesome, @Aiden. Chloe and I look forward to meeting her soon.
