“At bugging Jules.”
“At buggin’ Jules,” I chuckled.
“At touching Jules,” she joked.
“I’m not saying that,” I said
“Okay.....at matters of the heart,” she conceded.
“At matters of the heart.”
“At matters of the mind.”
“At matters of the mind,” I said.
“At matters of right and wrong,”
“I’m not super fantastic at that but I guess I’ll say it anyway. At matters of right and wrong.”
“And last but not least,” she said.
“And last but not least,” I repeated.
“At........eavesdropping on old women cooking Thanksgiving dinner in their kitchen.”
“You knew I was doing that?” I asked coyly.
“Of course, doofus. I almost thought about making it as miserable for you as possible but I would have freaked out my family if I had done that. Consider yourself lucky, I was going to say something like, he’s just a speed bump until I get to Philadelphia and find my real husband’. You know, things like that.”
I almost died laughing.
“You’re too competent to be with such a goof, Jules.”
“Please, I’m intimidated on a daily basis by your intelligence. I think we make it work so well because that’s what God wants of us. So, I chuck it all up to Him. I’m pretty darn happy so I guess we’re doing something right.”
“Me too,” I said.
“Okay! This half of the room is on one team, this half, on the other,” said Isabel. “Julia, heads or tails?”
“Heads.”
She flipped the coin.
“Tails.”
“Aw, shucks,” Jules said.
“It’s okay Jules,” I said.
“It’s okay Jules,” everyone mocked and burst into laughter.
A few made gagging noises.
“Okay, okay! Head in the game ‘heads’!” Jules shouted.
The game went on until two thirty in the morning. I could barely hold my head up but didn’t want to be the first to turn in. Jules’ family was so fun as well and I didn’t want to miss out.
“We’ve got to get to bed,” said Jules, reading my body language. “We’re shopping tomorrow, remember?”
