Mike: However, Loren told me what she said, and I told her it wasn’t cool.

Mike: I love her, but she acted like a mean girl, and we’ve been arguing about it ever since I found her here at the hotel.

Wow. Color me surprised.

Mike: So we’re working on things because I don’t want to go back to the house and have everyone just get pissed off all over again.

Mike: I mean, they all said stuff, but from everything Loren told me, she did the most damage, so…

Ash: I’m not really sure what to say here.

Ash: I told Olivia that guys don’t fight like that, so the whole thing is foreign to me.

Mike: Yeah. Me too.

Mike: There’s other personal stuff going on too.

Mike: Loren’s parents are giving us grief about the wedding now that we’re finally ready to set a date, and it turns out her father’s having an affair!

He follows that bombshell with a bunch of wide-eyed emojis.

Mike: She didn’t find that out until this morning, so…that’s been fun.

Ash: Holy crap. I’m so sorry. That is definitely going to mess with your wedding plans, I’m sure.

Mike: Exactly. So…our plan is to come back to the house tomorrow at some point.

Mike: Maybe text me when you hear from Zayne and we’ll try to come back around the same time.

Mike: And I told Loren she needs to apologize.

Mike: Hopefully everyone else will too, but I told her she needs to do it first.

Ash: Dude…who even are you? Lol!

Ash: I’m incredibly impressed!

Mike: We’ve been together for so long that I’m not afraid to lay the truth bombs out there!

Ash: Good for you!

Ash: Should I mention any of this to Olivia or should I just let tomorrow unfold naturally?

Mike: You can tell her. Maybe one less hostile person will help.

Ash: Olivia was never going to be hostile. She was just disappointed in the way things blew up.

Mike: Same.

Mike: Okay, I gotta go. Loren’s on her way back from the spa and I promised we’d do something fun afterwards. I just have no idea what that is! Talk to you tomorrow! Remember to text me!

Ash: Will do!

I drop the phone down on my bed and start pulling clean clothes out of my dresser and contemplate when to tell Olivia about my conversation.

Tomorrow.

Definitely tomorrow.
