“I miss you too.I’m going to ask you some rapid-fire questions.”
“Oooh, fun!I’m ready.”
Daisy motioned for the Connors to get their phones out.“I’ll start with some ID verification.What’s your name?”
“Sophia Mills.”
“What was your maiden name?”
“Wheeler.”
“When is your wedding anniversary?”
“Your birthday.”
“Which is?”
“May 9th.”
“Just a sec, Sophia.These boys have slow thumbs.”
She waited for them to fact-check Sophia’s answers before continuing.
“Okay, now the fun stuff.How long have Patrick and I been friends?”
“Forever.”
“How close are we?”
“Closer than two people should ever be.You two have the weirdest relationship I have ever seen.It’s terrifying and beautiful.”Sophia’s tone wasn’t judgmental, or wistful, or bitter.It was factual.Daisy loved her so much.
“How long did Patrick and I date?”
“Three years.”
“In that time, how many times did we sleep together?”
“Zero.”
“Who did Patrick lose his virginity to?”
“Me.”
“Who did I lose my virginity to?”
“I don’t remember the guy’s name.Kyle maybe?The weird, uptight, blonde guy.”
“Tyler.He was the worst.What would you say my relationship is to you?”
“We’re family.”
“Last one.Why did Patrick and I break up?”
“Sexual incompatibility.”
“That’s a great way to put it, actually.Thanks, Soph.Anything you would like to add?”
“Hear her out guys, she’s trying.She and Patrick are a package deal.It’s hard to get used to at first, but I trust them so deeply they couldn’t convince me they were having an affair if they tried.”
