Was I developing a very inconvenient crush on mywife?

Of course you are, Bennett. Of course you freaking are.

BENNETT

Forrester Sibling Group Chat

Bennett

Houston, we have a problem.

Jules

Get arrested again?

Bennett

No. Worse.

Haydn

What’s worse than that?

Bennett

I may be slightly attracted to my wife.

Jules

Just slightly?

Bennett

In an all-consuming kind of way.

Haydn

That’s a good thing, Ben.

Bennett

Not when the marriage is fake.

Jules

Just treat her like a buddy. Like she’s one of the bros. And all that attraction stuff will work itself out when you haven’t showered for a month out there.

Haydn

Good idea. Listen to Jules.

Bennett

Okay. It’s a plan. Oh, she’s up. We’re going to head for the cabin for a few days, then go straight to the Wild set. Love you!
