“Shut up, she did not,” Penny said, her eyes wide.
“She did,” I said, gulping my drink. I needed to slow this down. Alcohol got me wasted so quickly that if I had this too fast, I was going to be under the table.
“Why was she there?” Heath asked.
I threw my arms up and they crashed down onto the table with a bang. “I don’t even know, that’s what’s so frustrating! Like, she’s seen our routine. Was she trying to see if we’d made more progress since the last competition? Was she trying to steal our shit? I don’t know. Maybe she was just there to fuck with me.”
I mean, it was working. I was currently losing my shit over her.

“Whatever, I don’t want to talk about her, someone else say something interesting,” I said.
There was a long silence.
“Katie got a toy caught in her vagina today,” Penny said, as Katie did a spit take all over the table and we were all drenched in beer. Katie spent the next few minutes wheezing and trying to breathe as the rest of us cleaned ourselves up and tried not to die from laughter.
“Why would you tell them that?” Katie said, sucking down water, her face as red as her lipstick.
“Because I thought it was interesting,” Penny said.
“You’re terrible.”
“You married me,” Penny said, pointing to her ring.
“Shit, I did, didn’t I?”
They shared a look that made my heart ache. Why was I so sensitive lately?
“I might regret asking this, buthowdid you get a toy stuck there?” Tom said, and Jason and Dom let out groans.
The food arrived and for a few moments the topic of the toy in Katie’s vagina was forgotten, but it got brought back up a few moments later and Katie moaned and turned red again.
“I’m not talking about this. Someone else say something interesting that doesn’t have to do with my junk,” she said.
“We have an announcement to make,” Dom said, looking at Heath.
“You want to tell them?” Heath asked.
“Yeah, I do.”
I had a feeling I knew what it was about, but I waited for confirmation, my sandwich poised halfway to my mouth.
“We’re adopting a baby!” Dom said, throwing his arms in the air.
“Mazel tov!” Tom yelled, and everyone cheered.
“What’s going on over there?” Lou yelled from the bar.
“Dom and Heath are getting a baby!” Katie yelled and Lou came over to offer her congratulations, and a free round. We got so many free drinks from her it was ridiculous.
Talk turned to talking about Dom and Heath’s future baby, a much happier topic than thinking about Echo showing up today.
“Youhaveto let me do the nursery,” Katie said, gripping Dom’s arm. She worked as an interior designer, so it would have been offensive not to use her.
“As soon as we have more details and we know for sure, you’re on our speed dial,” Heath said.
