Let’s Hug Day

DECEMBER 3RD

Ben

I received a pair of humping reindeer with a note that says, Happy Let's Hug Day. Please tell me this is from you and not a sick joke from Chandler.

Lainey

I couldn't let you miss out on Let's Hug Day.

Ben

I don’t know what to say.

Lainey

Really? I was expecting a lot of euphemisms.

Long Pause.

Lainey

Well, I hope it’s a good day. Just maybe don’t tell me how you celebrate.

Ben

How are you celebrating? Holidate?

Lainey

No. I don’t work for What’s Good, ATX anymore.

Ben

What?

Lainey

Yeah, they fired me before I could quit. Pete the Dick didn’t think the food fight was funny. Neither did my boss.

Ben

Damn. Sorry.

Lainey

I’m not.

Longer Pause.

Ben

Lainey

Thanks. Your hugs are the best. Best I’ve ever had.
