THE MOMENT THE DOOR CLOSED BEHIND BASTIAN,Paula was on her phone, group messaging with her girlfriends.
Paula: Change of plans, you two. Can’t do cookies & games tonight. Sorry.
Priscilla: Oh no! You said you wouldn’t have to work.
Jennifer: It is work, isn’t it?
Paula: No way. I WILL NEVER WORK ON CHRISTMAS AGAIN. I’m past that phase in my life.
Jennifer: Of course it’s work. It’s always work with you.
Priscilla: Or a man.
Jennifer: Girl would never blow us off for a man.
Priscilla: …
Jennifer: …
Priscilla: Who is it????
Paula: You don’t know him.
Jennifer: HIM
Priscilla: Him
Paula: Forget I said anything.
Jennifer: Too late. Hmm, my money’s on Wire Frames at the SpeedeeGo. He offered to carry out your bags, didn’t he?
Priscilla: That was last week. You don’t ask people out a week before Christmas.
Jennifer: Well somebody obviously asked her out.
Paula: Stop it. It’s not Wire Frames. It’s a neighbor. The guy who wouldn’t give me the eggs.
Priscilla: WTH? The Egg Witholder asked you out on Christmas Eve? Wasn’t he also the Toilet Withholder?
Paula: Please, don’t remind me. But yes, he is the individual who asked me out.
Jennifer: SHOCK
Priscilla: Name, hotness level, number of exes.
Paula: Prince Charmless. Scarily high. Don’t know.
Priscilla: What do you mean scarily?
Jennifer: Where are you going with this guy? Is he cooking?
Paula: We’re going to a ball, ha ha.
