“Me neither.”

Sterling Family Group Text

Keene: Juno, where are you right now?

Juno: Amsterdam

Keene: Cool. Smoking a lot of weed?

Brooklyn: Eye roll emoji

Juno: No.

Declan: Sure. It’s okay. We won’t tell James.

James: I’m literally on this text thread.

Juno: Well, I know you guys have a hard time believing this, but I don’t need James’ permission to do anything.

James: That’s true.

Keene: Edibles?

Juno: They might be a part of the show

Zadie: Oh, I’m watching that for sure.

Juno: Well, I’ve learned a thing or two about Bode. He’s very honest when he’s high.

Eli: I thought we already knew that.

Juno: Yeah. I guess we did.

Elizabeth: Weed is fun and everything, but what about the gouda?

Maggie: God, you can tell we are sisters. I was literally thinking the same thing.

Juno: Yes. Cheese. So much cheese. Giant delicious wheels of cheese. I’m in heaven.

Elizabeth: I need to plan a trip.

Juno: I’ll send a big wheel to the White House.

Elizabeth: OMG! Can’t wait.

Eli: Glad you’re having fun. Say hi to Bo for us.

Three Week Later

Juno: You’ll never guess what I’m doing right now.

Will: Oh, don’t tempt us.

Brooklyn: Yeah. We have to guess now.

Keene: Is it R rated?

Juno: What?
