SERENA

Hell hath no fury like me when I’m hungry, tired, and overwhelmed.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

—Serena’s Secret Thoughts

Hendrix

Did you tell him yet?

Serena

That I’m taking the position? No. He’s been in meetings all morning. I think he’s taking the King Corp. jet to the game tonight.

Hendrix

Any chance you’ll be coming with him?

Serena

Umm. No. That’s not how I plan to tell my father I’m dating one of his players.

Hendrix

Is that all we’re doing?

Serena

Not like I can tell him we’re fucking, Superman.

Hendrix

My handprint is going to look so pretty on your ass tonight, princess.

Serena

If that’s supposed to be a threat, you’re going to have to do better.

Hendrix

Does that mean you’ll come over after the game? It’s a short flight. I should be home by midnight.

Serena

What about Bodhi?

Hendrix

What about him? He thinks he had a sleepover with a very real princess.

Serena

Hendrix . . . I don’t know.

Hendrix

We’ve wasted so much time, Serena. Come over. I’d come to you if I could.
