25. Sisters Group Chat
Lanie:
Last night was fun. We should do that again soon!
Sloane:
No kidding. The boys loved it so much, they slept until almost nine! They haven’t stopped talking about the bonfire since they got up.
Raven:
Mine too. It was the first thing Vanny asked about this morning.
Lizzy:
Embry has no clue what it means to sleep in. (crying emoji) If the sun is up, he is up.
Lanie:
Those days will soon pass, I promise. (heart emoji)
Lizzy:
Milli was the same way. She eventually learned to sleep in, so there’s hope. (fingers crossed emoji)
Raven:
Speaking of hope… Anyone else notice how Dad was looking at Faye last night when he thought no one was watching?
Lizzy:
I think she’s perfect for him!
Lanie:
Perfect for him? Hell, she’s perfect for our entire family. Did you see the way she had Josh and Jason’s number?
Lizzy:
Those two didn’t know what to do with her “superpowers.” It was hysterical.
Lanie:
She scored HUGE when she could tell us all apart.
Sloane:
I for one was shocked to learn she didn’t have any kids of her own. That woman is a miracle worker with my boys.
Lizzy:
Maybe we should adopt her and make her an honorary family member?
Raven:
Or…
Raven:
Hear me out…
Raven:
Dad could get off his ass…
Raven:
AND… make it OFFICIAL!!!
Lanie:
Jumping the gun much, Drama Queen? As much as I love Faye for him, I’ve NEVER in my life seen Dad date anyone. EVER! What makes you think he’ll ask her to marry him???
Raven:
Just a feeling.
Sloane:
If I’m being honest… I could see it. I mean, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing. (shrugs emoji)
Lizzy:
He’s literally only brought her around once. (head exploding emoji)
Lanie:
And with our crazy brood, we likely scared her off!
Raven:
Did you see them sneaking a kiss between the dunes when they thought no one was looking?
Lanie:
Yes! They were adorable. Ryan said it had nothing on the kiss he laid on her at the diner. So… the one at the diner must’ve been H-O-T!
Lizzy:
I always miss out on everything!
Sloane:
You might’ve been changing Embry. When I noticed the first time, I didn’t want to make a big deal of it. Raven might have a point. Dad’s really into Faye.
Lanie:
He wasn’t the only one with googly eyes all night. Those two were like teenagers trying to steal kisses when they thought no one was watching. It was adorable.
Raven:
He, of all people, should know better than to attempt to sneak around us… He’s the one who taught us all how to spy on one another.
Lanie:
He did not!
Lizzy:
Oh, yes, he did. Once, I made fifty bucks for following Raven around town all night. He figured she couldn’t get up to too much trouble with me in tow.
Raven:
Was that the time you offered to buy me ice cream?
Lizzy:
Yep. I was hungry and couldn’t leave your sight. That boy you were hanging out with even paid when we got to the ice cream shop, so I scored! (Even though you didn’t.)
Raven:
You did not just go there….
Lanie:
Face it, Raven, you were a heart attack waiting to happen for Dad.
Sloane:
She’s got you there. (shrugs emoji)
Raven:
THE POINT IS… (cough cough—focus, people) Dad is hooked on Faye, mark my words.
