Mom’s Favorites Group Chat

Mom: I haven’t heard from either of you for days. Are you alright?

Cash: I’m in my honeymoon phase. What’s your excuse, Presley?

Cash: Unless you have some news to share?

Mom: Presley?!?!

Presley: Very funny Cash.

Cash: I thought so.

Mom: So you and Jack still aren’t engaged?

Presley: Sorry to disappoint you mom.

Mom: As long as you’re happy, I’m happy too.

Cash: She wouldn’t say that if you and Jack broke up.

Mom: Cash, don’t joke about that.

Cash: You’re right. Then you’d have to work overtime to find Presley another man.

Mom: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Presley: Don’t worry Mom, Jack and I aren’t breaking up.

Mom: Thank God.

Mom: Cash, how is Everly?

Cash: Good. She stopped by my office this afternoon so I’m taking her out to dinner.

Mom: I’m happy to hear that. She deserves to be spoiled.

Presley: Mom’s right. The best way to a woman’s heart is with food and with her favorite things.

Cash: Thanks for the advice.

Presley: That’s why I’m your favorite.

Mom: We don’t have favorites in this family.

Cash: Is now a good time to remind you to check the name of the chat?

Mom: Presley, you promised you’d change it.

Presley: I have to go. Jack just walked into my office.

Cash: Talk to you both later.

I put my phone away before my mom asks me to change the chat name That’s between her and Presley, and I know better than to intervene.

I let out a low groan when I stand up. My back is stiff from sitting on the uncomfortable rolling chair for hours. I had Everly use my desk while I used the one I found in the janitor’s closet during my first week here. Carol told me I should get an extrachair in my office for visitors, even offered to order me one but I refused.

I make a mental note to contact Marcus, to decorate my office with more comfortable chairs, a bookshelf, and a few plants. When Everly visits my office, I want her to feel at home.
