Cherry Stems Group Chat
COLE:You guys aren’t going to believe this. Nothing I say could ever prepare you for the news you’re about to receive. Your lives are about to change.
RILEY:Ten bucks says it’s not a big deal
AVERY:I’m not taking that bet
HAILEY:I bet it’s even less of a big deal than you think
ABBY:I bet we could guess what it is. He just filled up his gas tank and the final total has the number sixty-nine in it.
JOSH:He got the last loaf of potato bread from the market.
RILEY:A vending machine accidentally dispensed TWO treats for him
ELENA:You’re finally getting that personality transplant
HAILEY: You managed to swoop your hair in the OTHER direction
AVERY:The anticipation is killing us, which is probably what he was going for. You’ve succeeded in your quest, Cole!
COLE: You’re all wrong, except Avery. I was just going to tell you all I love you but now you’ve ruined it.
AVERY: Love you too, man!
HAILEY:awww sweetness overload!
ABBY:I’m not crying, you’re crying!
