JO EVANS WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?
Me
Jesus Christ, Hal, I’m right here. What’s your deal?
Hannah
Her deal is that neither of us has heard from you in days. Where’ve you been?
Me
Sorry bbs, it’s been a whirlwind. I started work today.
Hallie
We know, and we want to know how it went. But that was today. What about all the days before today?
Shit. I don’t know how it’s only just occurring to me that I haven’t told my sisters about all the time I’ve been spending with Jordan. I need to tread lightly here because I also don’t know how much Jordan has told his friends or how much he wants them to know.
Me
I’ve been settling in, doing some exploring.
Hannah
You’re on your own in the city. How much exploring could you possibly do that it would keep you from texting us for like a week? You never don’t text for a week.
Me
So…I haven’t been completely alone.
Hallie
What does that mean?
Hannah
Are you having a summer fling? Please say you’re having a hot summer fling.
Me
If I was, that would be pretty fast and very impressive work on my part. So, no, no fling. I’ve been hanging out with Jordan a little.
If two breakfasts, two dinners, one trip to the M&M store, frozen hot chocolates at Serendipity, and one all night scavenger hunt and an early morning sunrise in Battery Park count as a little.
It does if I say it does.
Hallie
Jordan.
Me
Yes.
