Chapter 45
Joy
Just a heads up, Jeff and I are GLUTEN-FREE now, so everything I’m bringing for Christmas will be gluten-free!!
Honny
Gross.
Cherry
Thanks for the warning.
Joy
That isn’t very supportive!!
Honny
It wasn’t meant to be.
Cherry
What do you want, Joy, a cookie?
Faith
My sweet potato casserole doesn’t have gluten, I don’t think. Is there gluten in marshmallows?
Cherry
That was a gluten joke. About the cookie.
Honny
I laughed, Cherry.
Joy
This is serious—Jeff has inflammation!!!
Faith
Where?
Joy
Generally, I guess??
Honny
Joy, do you really want to be gluten-free on Christmas? It’s just one day.
Joy
They say it stays in your system.
Cherry
I promise not to peer-pressure you into eating gluten.
Honny
Cherry, is your boyfriend coming? I bought him a gift.
Cherry
I hope you saved the receipt.
Joy
What does that mean??
Cherry
It means I don’t have a boyfriend.
Faith
Like, you don’t call Russ your boyfriend?
Cherry
I don’t call him at all. We’re not seeing each other anymore.
Faith
Oh no! What happened?
Cherry
It wasn’t a good fit.
Faith
He was so nice!
Honny
He was nice.
Cherry
He’s still nice.
Joy
He’s really not coming?? Who’s going to eat my pumpkin pie?!?
Honny
NO ONE.
Cherry
Your gluten-free pumpkin pie? No one.
Honny
Jinx! Cherry, you owe me a Coke.
