How much younger than you is Denise?

David

Totally not the point.

Joey

Oh, Davey. Are you saying that women can’t date younger men? In some ways, they’re far superior to men of our age group.

David

Good god. Please don’t say anything more.

Ginny

Look, Gavin and I have history and we’re just…figuring things out.

David

What kind of history?

Joey

Can I tell him? Please? It would give me the utmost joy.

Ginny didn’t even bother to reply, because she knew her sister wouldn’t wait for confirmation or approval. When she told Stella and Joey about her fling with Gavin, they insisted that David could not know. At least not right away and they’d kept her secret for the last twelve years. There was no point hiding it from her brother now, because this was happening and he’d find out eventually.

Joey

Back on Tybee, Gin and Gavin were hooking up over the summer. It was a hot, secret summer fling. And then something terrible happened and he walked away.

While on that topic, you owe me a full explanation. And I mean ALL of the details.

David

It’s way too early in the day for this.

If you’re happy, Gin, then I’m happy.

Ginny

I’m happy, Davey. I promise, if he does anything that changes that, you’ll be my first call.

David

Love you, brat.

Joey

And I need to finish getting ready for work. Call me, Gin!

Stella

You owe me an explanation, young lady.

Ginny

Love you all very much.
