If there’s something to be shared then share away, Em. There are no secrets here.

Hallie

Is that what you think?

Molly

No one can keep secrets from me. It’s a known fact.

Hallie

So, the thing where I wanted to leave my practice and go into family law full time and didn’t tell anyone for a year?

Julie

And that time I was drowning in anxiety and panic attacks for my entire adult life, and you never knew?

I chuckle, because I can visualize Molly’s frustrated face right now while she realizes that everyone can, in fact, keep secrets from her. It’s giving me life, so I can’t help but pile on.

Me

That time I had one night of hot, dirty sex with Jeremy and didn’t tell you for eight years?

Molly

FUCKING FINE YOU CAN ALL KEEP SECRETS. Now can someone tell me who Emma’s visitor is before I drive over there and see for myself?

Hallie

Aren’t you guys neighbors?

Molly

I’m still at the office. Stupid client. Long story. Not interesting. Talk please.

Me

Jeremy is here.

Julie

Yeah, he is.

Me

How did you know?

Julie

Asher. He was in Jeremy’s office when you guys were texting earlier. Jeremy had, and I quote, his Emma grin on.

Hallie

Wait, he’s in your house? Like, right now?

Me

He brought over a million boxes of cereal and made dinner a create the best combo competition. He made Maddy laugh for the first time, and then she asked him to read her a book.
