Chapter 18
SOUL SISTERS
Poppy
Lily
We need to talk
Is everything okay?
And did you rename this group chat?
Lily
I felt it was right since we’re soul sisters and all.
Aww, Lil. That’s so cute.
Lily
I know, right? Okay. Listen, you’re not going to like this, but tomorrow night you’re coming out.
Blair
And you can’t say no.
Just remember how cute we are with this new chat name.
There’s a winter storm tonight.
Lily
It will be gone by tomorrow morning.
Blair
We’ve been watching the weather.
Lily
And Nan is hosting a winter party at Seven Stools.
Griffin allowed that?
Blair
What can I say? He’s a changed man.
Lily
Please, Poppy. We really want you to come.
Absolutely not. You know I don’t like going out like that. Besides, I’m busy tomorrow night.
Blair
Come on. The whole town will be there.
And that’s what I fear.
Lily
The parents of students don’t care if you have a life outside of teaching. The other teachers are always there, and no one bats an eye.
Fine. But I’m driving to avoid you setting me up with a ride home again, and I’m not staying long.
