Paul
I need some time to process everything.
One week after the confrontation
Elle
I think you’ve had enough time, little brother.
Mama
Elle. We talked about this.
Elle
You all talked! This isn’t okay.
Patrick
I’ve taken Elle’s phone. If you don’t hear from me in the next hour, please speak kindly about me at my funeral.
One month after the confrontation
Jude has been added to the chat
Elle
If someone doesn’t fucking find him and tell him, I’m dropping the bomb in the chat.
Me
You wouldn’t dare.
Lola
He asked for time, we need to respect that.
Elle
Respect shit-spect.
Mama
Language.
Me
Please don’t. PJ. If you are reading these messages, please call me.

I’m bringing someone to family dinner. Please don’t make a big deal out of this.
Patrick
OH
MY
GOD
Elle
I think you broke my husband.
Me
That’s great LJ!
Mama
Oh my goodness, this is such short notice!
Lola
Regretting this decision immediately.
Two months and one week after the confrontation
Elle
Lola, I love you but that guy was the worst.
Lola
There’s no way you can make that determination after one dinner.
Elle
Okay, maybe not the worst but a total douche canoe.
Mama
Elle Hunt!
Elle
I’m just saying what we’re all thinking.
Me
I like him if Lola likes him
Patrick
Same! As long as he makes you happy.
Jude
Total douche canoe.
Lola
Oh my god! I’m never introducing any of you to someone I’m dating ever again.

Congratulations, Mabel. You’re going to be an amazing mom.
