London: Go pass that test, Luca.I’ll cross everything so that you have good luck.
Luca: Well maybe not EVERYTHING ...
Not wanting to see her answer tothatparticular message, I shut down the power and slip my phone back into my pocket, just in time for the lieutenant candidates to be called and ushered inside the examination room.
With one last breath, I do a quick sign of the cross over my chest and step inside.

Luca: I bet you’re having more fun than me.
London: Because I’m in New York?
Luca: Because you’re NOT sitting here at the Cubs vs White Sox game, watching your team get their asses kicked.
London: And because you’re not drinking cocktails in New York like we are ...
Luca: That too.I’d much rather be wherever you are.
London: You’re sweet when your team is losing *winking emoji*
Luca: What cocktail are you drinking?
London: Skye bought a round of Quick Fucks.
Luca: And do you like it?
London: Never been a fan of a quick fuck.
I’d stupidly chosen to take a mouthful of my beer before reading that message, something the two girls in front of medon’tappreciate when I choke and splutter, getting it everywhere.
Luca:Maybe you haven’t been doing it with the right man.
I quickly delete that one because that’s not exactly giving my girl space.
Luca: Can I make another confession ...?
London: You ARE a fan of a quick fuck?I can totally see that ...maybe under the bleachers with another cheerleader.What did Val say her name was ...Kelly Clarke, was it?
Luca: God *facepalm emoji* Can I ban Val from telling you anything about my high school days?
London: Yeah.Skye says she’s got stories from your twenties too.
Luca: Can I ban you from talking to my sisters about me at ALL?
London: You can try ...
Luca: Can I say that I miss having you next to me watching your romance movies so much that I watchedDirty Dancinglast night?It felt strange.
London: Did you like it though?
Luca: Well, there’s no way I’d ever let anyone put you in a corner.
I watch as the three dots in her chat bubble move and then stop and then move again.
“You gonna sit there and moon over your phone all night?The seventh innings stretch is about to start,” Marco says, nudging me with his elbow.“I thought this was a boys' weekend.You know, to celebrate the end of my single life forever?”
“Dude,” Scotty says, shaking his head.
