God, I never knew how people could miss a place until now.
It wasn’t so much the place as the man living within it, but with Hadlee on this thread, I decided I should probably keep my mouth shut. Three people in the know was likely three too many.
Alice
I miss everyone so much it makes me nauseous. Captain Hartless is on a terror.
Greyson Hart was a ruthless mid-thirties media mogul, and Alice had bestowed a handful of less than flattering nicknames over the last two years working for him, including ‘Hartless’ or when he was being spectacularly dickish, ‘Captain Hartless’, ‘The Fire-breathing Dragon’, and my personal favorite; ‘Mr. Ass Face’.
Max
And now you’re all so scattered it’s costing me a small fortune to bounce around to see everyone.
Mara
Hold on, let me call an ambulance for Mr. Whines A Lot.
Max
What? It was easy when all fourteen of them were on one rock.
Mara
Poor little rich boy has family all over the country to stay with.
Max
Little salty there, Mara?
Mara
Nate is teething. There is no sleep to be had. I need a vacation. And a fifth of tequila.
Alice
You know where you can find a state-of-the-art spa resort?
Elora
Hmmm. IDK, maybe Emerald Bay?
Alice
PLEASE come visit me. The Harts own one uptown and I can get us in at forty percent cost.
Elora
Like hosting the twins aren’t enough people in one apartment.
Alice
The dragon has depleted my dopamine so sufficiently, I gotta chase any hit I can get. Starting with your cute asses on my couch watching a LOTR movie marathon with sea salt and caramel chocolate ice cream and mashed potatoes.
Mara
Po-Tay-Toes.
