Ménage à Trois group chat
After setting up a group chat with Malcom and Jules, Evan then named it ‘Ménage à Trois’, because why not?
EVAN: GM …
MALCOM: Good morning.
EVAN: How is everyone?
MALCOM: I’m pretty good.
MALCOM: Jules is still sleeping.
MALCOM: She stayed the night, and I know I said we shouldn’t do that, but it was mostly accidental.
EVAN: Accidental?
MALCOM: We ended up talking for a while, and killing off the bottle of wine, and then it was kind of late, so … she slept in my bedroom and I took the couch.
Evan was momentarily taken aback they’d slept separately for him, and the realization made him feel ridiculously grateful for it.
EVAN: Thank you. That means a lot.
MALCOM: You’re welcome.
Picturing Jules asleep, Evan fired off another text.
EVAN: Can you send me a picture of her sleeping?
MALCOM: Really?
EVAN: Yes.
MALCOM: Even if her mouth is open?
EVAN: Especially if her mouth is open.
About thirty seconds later, a picture was sent, showing Jules asleep on her side with her mouth partly open, her hair fanning out on the pillow.
MALCOM: I moved her hair out of the way so you could see better.
EVAN: Thanks. I appreciate the extra effort.
EVAN: I’m going to make this my lock screen.
MALCOM: Okay … that’s sort of weird.
EVAN: Now send me a picture of you.
MALCOM: I’m terrible at selfies.
EVAN: I don’t care.
This time it took almost a minute for a picture to appear, and when it did, Evan chuckled. It was of Malcom dressed in a navy suit, with an awkward,This is stupidexpression on his face.
EVAN: You sleep in a suit?
