Hank:
Trust me dude, we have also tried plenty of things my wife has read. I already know all about that
Kolbi:
Conrad please chime in here man. I could use one of your gripes right about now to get them to stop.
I’m good. Just hung out all weekend with Annie.
While it isn’t the whole truth, it also isn’t a lie. Anniehasbeen with me the whole time sotechnicallyI have hung out with her all weekend.
Malcolm:
I still can’t believe you got a fucking dog dude.
Hank:
Bailey won’t stop begging me to get one now. Seeing Annie once a week at game night isn’t enough for her.
Kolbi:
You’re telling me. Magnolia brings up getting a puppy at least once a day.
Malcolm:
I’m enough of a dog for Ophelia to handle thankfully. No dogs and no babies for us which is A-okay with me.
I roll my eyes at his message just as a message from Kolbi comes in that is just between the two of us. Squinting at my phone, I click in to read it.
Kolbi:
Okay please don’t get pissed but I got nervous when you weren’t replying and pinged your tracker. Where are you? Your car isn’t showing up at your place.
My heart lurches in my chest reading his message. Working in private security, he has trackers on all of us. They’re like his way of making sure we’re okay and not doing anything dumb. I can’t believe he tracked me down.
I’m with a friend. Don’t worry about it.
Again, not really a lie because Henryismy friend. Isn’t he? What is he now after last night? My thoughts are starting to run away when he texts me again.
Kolbi:
A female friend?
Just a friend. Decided to stay here through the storm. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t hunt me down like a stalker next time.
I know, I’m sorry man. I just get nervous.
Well I’m fine and staying with a friend.
Okay brother, you’re staying with a friend. I’m glad you’re okay.
And Kolbi?
Yeah?
Don’t tell the guys.
I won’t brother, I promise.
