Are you threatening me with a good time?

Nat Soulmate Sister:

You better believe it!

When?

Nat Soulmate Sister:

I was thinking of making the trek up sometime in September or October, I have to check with Nick and see when he’s got a free weekend so I can drive up.

Just give me a few days' warning, but I’m pretty flexible.

Nat Soulmate Sister:

Yay! I’m so excited. It’s like I get an added bonus that you guys are both in the same place. And to clarify, you’re the big prize while he’s the bonus.

Be nice.

Nat Soulmate Sister:

I’m always nice… most days… to some people.

Mm-hmm. You’ve turned a new leaf, remember? I’m sure your brother will be very excited to get to hang with you.

Nat Soulmate Sister:

Ehh. I wouldn’t go that far. He still thinks I’m a bitch.

Nat! You’re not a bitch… to me.

Nat Soulmate Sister:

Exactly. He might still be scarred from my bitchiness from his childhood. But maybe I just helped to toughen him up. Look at him now, he’s the big cheese in the pros or some shit.

Nat Soulmate Sister:

Mom said he bought some huge house from his signing bonus money. I can’t wait to see this place. What the hell does he need a house for?

Jealousy doesn’t look good on anyone, you know.

Nat Soulmate Sister:

He’s 23. He doesn’t need a house. Nor does he need acres and acres. And apparently barns too. What the hell does he need that for? It’s not like he has a girlfriend or a bunch of kids. He doesn’t even have a dog. What does he need all that for?

Sounds like someone is gearing up for a jealous recon mission. You know how those always end up…

Nat Soulmate Sister:

Not well for me…

It’s his life. His choices. If it brings him joy, what does it matter to you?

Nat Soulmate Sister:

Because I’m petty… and jealous? I want a fancy house with a barn. Maybe I want a pony! Scottie, do you think Nick will get me a pony?

Not if you’re a bitch to him.
