Chapter 9

Alistair

Heather: Alistair, I can’t take it anymore. I waited all night. You’re dating Isla. Real or not real?

Heather: I’m your sister, I have a right to know.

Alistair: Not sure that’s how it works.

Callum: That’s definitely a yes.

Heather: Why didn’t you tell me?

Callum: Maybe because he knew you’d be weird.

Alistair: That’s exactly why. I’m the smart sibling remember.

Callum: Smart? Remember the time you nearly swallowed a battery?

Alistair: I was performing an experiment.

Callum: You were fifteen.

Alistair: And now we know a battery will get caught in your oesophagus.

Juniper: The real question here should be, how did he get Isla? She’s a solid ten.

Alistair: What’s that supposed to mean?

Mal: If you need any dating advice, you can come to me.

Alistair: Piss off. I don’t need dating advice from my wee brother.

Juniper: I’d probably take his advice.

Heather: BURN.

Alistair:

Alistair: Wasn’t April your first girlfriend, Mal?

Mal: And now she’s my wife. I bagged FHM’s sexiest woman of 2018 on my first try.

April: Oh, please. I bagged you.

Mal: True.

Heather: This doesn’t answer my original question. You and Isla?

Alistair: No comment.

Heather: Fine. I’ll ask her.
