(one week post–Hattie’s hospital release)
Sage
So just checking in to make sure Kipp hasn’t bubble-wrapped Hattie and stored her in a humidity-controlled room yet.
She’s recovering.
East
That’s a yes.
Lo Lo
I heard he took the throw pillows off the couch because they were “a tripping hazard.”
One of them was. It’s not like I have a shit-ton of them anyway. It’s a cabin!
Wade
Buddy, she survived a car crash and an attempted murder. I promise a decorative pillow isn’t going to finish the job.
Sage
I stopped by yesterday, and he wouldn’t let her pour her own coffee.
She’s on pain meds, you psycho. She could have burned herself.
Phiny
Anyway, tell Hattie we’re proud of her and that we’ll keep you in check.
Wade
You can tell her she’s allowed to text us if she needs help escaping. We’re all in.
She’s right here. She’s reading this.
Sage
HATTIE RUN. Oh, shit. Ankle. I can pick you up.
Lo Lo
Blink twice if you need extraction.
