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.

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