Page 95 of Agony of Our Regret

“Sounds good to me,” Tessa agreed.

“Good, then let’s get back to the agenda items. We have another delivery scheduled for next Tuesday,” Daniel continued, but a message popped up on the corner of my screen. I clicked to open it.

Noah: I called dibs tonight

I smiled to myself. The guys asked for date nights since we were down to three weeks before Lemon was due, and they each wanted to squeeze in some alone time.

Vince: You can’t take her to see that new Broadway movie. I already called dibs on that

Skyler: As if Noah could sit through two hours of spontaneous singing

Gavin: I packed an overnight bag, so you won’t see me

Luca: Apartment is all yours

Noah: Vince, I already got our tickets. Recliner seats

I rubbed my nose, coving my smile. He knew better than to get Vince riled up.

Vince: No. You’re not taking her. Ave, babe, tell him!

Luca: You knew you were going to be home on opening weekend, you should have planned ahead

Gavin: Yeah

Skyler: Sucks to suck man

I muffled a laugh and dropped my eyes when Tessa glanced at me. Gwen leaned over and read over the conversation with a smile. She reached over and started typing.

Me: I promised Gwen I’d go with her first. Noah, return those tickets. Vince, we’ll watch when it’s on streaming

I slapped her hands, but she ignored me and kept typing.

Me: I’m in a meeting. Noah, bring dinner over

She sat back while I watched them fall into chaos.

Noah: Fine, I’ll return them. Do you want Italian or Chinese tonight?

Vince: I’m not waiting until it’s on streaming! That will take months

Gavin: We had Chinese two days ago

Luca: Get her some lasagna and garlic bread

Oh, that sounded fantastic.

Noah: Got it

Skyler: Now we know where Gwen stands.

Gavin: In front of all of us

Luca: Not surprising

Skyler: Only because she isn’t responsible for knocking her up. Once the baby is here, we’ll rise back up

Gavin: Only if you help with diapers
