Essence:

Now all of a sudden she wanna be quiet. You just sent me videos on another app, Dow. I know you see these messages.

ME:

A girl can’t take an impromptu trip?

Daddy:

Are you safe?

ME:

yes daddy I am. I’m being wellll taken care of. I have SO much to tell y’all when I get back, but right now… I’m about to go drink hot coffee and make breakfast with my boo as soon as he wakes up.

Mommy:

It’s always that middle child that’s gon do the most. Please be safe and let us know when you make it back to Texas, please.

ME:

Yes ma’am I will. I love y’all!

I closed out the family group chat and opened the private thread with Aida.

Bestie :

Why does your location say Canada?

I tapped her contact and checked her location to see where she was. She wasn’t in Cade’s Cove, either. Her icon was in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Mexico.

ME:

Why does your location say you’re in the middle of the ocean?

Bestie :

This isn’t about me bitch. What’s tea?

ME:

PJ surprised me with a private jet to his family cottage. We had a conversation months ago about my dream vacation and I told him anywhere with fluffy snow and he made it happen. We’re surrounded by untouched snow and it’s sooo cozy.

Bestie :

Awwwww! I’m so happy for you, baby! You deserve to be treated this way. I love this for you for real.

ME:

Thank you, bestie boo. Now, tell me what the fuck your ass doing off the coast of Mexico.

Bestie :

Girlllll, Eddie said they’re going to be starting team workouts soon and wanted to give me some private attention before he had to lock in with the preseason. He took me to a resort.

ME:

IKTR! I love this for us. Maybe you can leave the hospital and come work for me.
