Rafe
Because you’re mean.
Axel
And angry.
Easton
Kind of terrifying.
Clark
Moody as shit, too.
I just thought you were wrong. But I don’t disagree anymore.
Axel
Did something happen.
Bridger
Yeah, he just decided in the middle of the night that he likes his nanny. Of course something fucking happened. Nobody comes in the group chat asking for advice before something happens.
Rafe
I came in the group chat and asked if you thought I was lactose intolerant last year, and that was before I shit my pants in the parking lot of the Honey Biscuit Café.
Clark
Can we please focus. What happened, Archie.
I’m not here to discuss what happened. I just want to know what to do now. I want to take her out on a date, but we sort of live together. So it feels weird. And what the fuck do we tell Melody? And I don’t even know if she wants to date me.
Easton
You don’t sort of live together. You actually live together.
Rafe
Always the lawyer. Of course she wants to date you. You’re Archie fucking Chadwick. The best dude I know.
Bridger
Wow. Tell us how you really feel.
Easton
Pickleball is starting up again next week. You could ask her to play on the Chad-Six. That’s a good icebreaker.
Rafe
She could happily sub for me. I’m over pickleball.
Easton
Fuck you, and your irritable bowels.
