YOUR place?
Me
I think it’s time. I’ll text you my address. See you at 9?
Lockhart

I love you, and I’m endlessly proud of you, Lockhart.
Lockhart
I love you too, baby.

Boss
Toro was as perfect as you described. I agree with every one of your words. Brilliant review.

Beck
In the plane, on the way back to LA. How’d last night go?
Eden
We were sneaking footage of the game every chance we got. The whole kitchen at Toro erupted when you scored the winning shot. I think I might even have it on video.
Beck
You guys are one hell of a cheering squad.
Colson
I’m not going to lie … I could sleep for a week.
Beck
None of you have answeredmy question, LOL.
Me
Dude, Toro has hit the level—the one we dreamed of. You can’t even get near the entrance.
Walker
Or the bar.
