Faith: Manu, will you shush? Eden wanted to tell us something.

Faith: Eden, we’re all ears.

Eden: Now I don’t know where to start.

Eden: So I had one of my flashback PTSD things last night… The ones the doctor said would happen regularly for the first few years at least, remember? Those kinds of flashbacks.

Manuela: We remember.

Eden: Anyway, I had a flashback episode last night, and I wasn’t feeling too well. But it’s ok, I know how to handle them now. I just need to leave the room and go somewhere quiet until I’m ok again.

Eden: Well, it wasn’t a room, it was the pool deck, but you get it.

Manuela: I’m so sorry, En.

Faith: A POOL DECK?

Faith: I’m sorry too, En.

Faith: Did you say a pool deck?

Eden: So, I’m running away, in a super professional way (not), and then I realize someone is coming after me. I thought it was Jude, but suddenly, Isaiah’s arms were there, wrapping a towel around me.

Manuela: Wait a second, are Jude and Isaiah what you call them?

Faith: JUDE and ISAIAH I’m dead

Manuela: I think that’s not what we should be focusing right now, Fee.

Faith: I’m fanning myself.

Manuela: En, honey, it’s your fault. Even in a texting group, your writing is just too compelling. We got carried away.

Faith: What’s next what’s next?

Manuela: See?

Manuela: So, what’s next?

Eden: You don’t want to know.

Manuela: Oh, I do.

Eden: Well… Not much. I went to my room. I just wanted to ask your opinion. Will I get fired after this?

Manuela: Are you kidding? Of course not. I mean, Issy Woo RAN AFTER YOU WITH A TOWEL? I am getting faint just thinking about it.

Faith: Manu, dude, you’re embarrassing yourself. You’re a married woman.

Faith: However, I happen to have a few questions myself.

Manuela: Fee no, you’re going to be so much worse than me.

Eden: Ask away, sis.

Faith: Feel free to tell me to shut the heck up, but… Do you have a romantic history with Issy Wu, Eden?

Eden: …
