When I was talking to my mum about Hayleigh’s list and what was left on it, because I’ve memorised the whole thing, she was all too happy to help her out. She said Sunday dinner was the perfect time to do it because Hayleigh arrived earlier than anyone else and started helping without the rest of my family gawping at her. Even if they do mean well.
My phone vibrates in my pocket for the fifteenth time, but I can hear Arch giggling from the living room, so I know he’s up to something, and when I grab my phone and unlock it, I know for sure.
Archie
He’s ignoring us now. I think he’s gone upstairs to powder his nose
Cole
We’ll be a little late, Lacey can’t find anything comfy to wear
Rafe
So is Nate gonna propose?
Ethan
That’s a jump, Rafe. Plus, we’ve only just had a wedding…
Rafe
There isn’t a limit on weddings in the year
I shake my head; they’re worse than a bunch of gossiping old ladies.
Me
There will be no wedding…yet, this is just an invitation to Sunday dinner
Me
Don’t make it weird *face palm emoji*
Rafe
There he is *party hat emoji* so, Nate, tell us, is it social media official?
Archie
*laughing face emoji* Rafe, no one uses that as a reference anymore
Ethan
I hate all social media; it should be banned.
Cas
I agree with Nate, don’t make it weird for Hayleigh
Rafe
Ethan’s a grouch. Pass it on
Rafe
Also, why would we make it weird?
Archie
