Mom:Aiden, feel free to invite Sabrina. The girls can room together.
Annabelle:I don’t think I’m supposed to be on this text chain, but congrats!!
Coach Sinclair:I added you to this, Annabelle. You and Tommy are family, and we would really like it if you’d both be there.
Annabelle:I...I don’t know what to say.
Nattie:Say you’ll come, Belles. It’ll be fun, and you already closed the studio for that week.
Annabelle:We would love to. Thank you so much! Tommy will be so excited.
Mom:Annabelle, we’d really like Tommy to be the ring bearer. If he’d want to.
Annabelle:He would love that. (BTW I’m not crying right now. That’s someone else)
Mom:Aiden, please tell Sebastian we’d like him to come as well.
Carys:Can I bring a friend?
Mom:We can discuss that later.
Carys:How’s that fair?
Murphy: Sucks to be the youngest, Care Bear
Nattie:I love you, Daddy!
Coach Sinclair:I love you too, honey. Now go tell your boyfriend he’s bunking with Murphy!

Group Text:
Nattie:Hey, Hey, Ladies. My dad just announced the wedding date, and it’s New Year’s Eve.
Chloe:Woo hoo! Big Daddy Sinclair’s really putting a ring on it!
Nattie:Zip it, Chloe. Kathrine has had a ring on it for months now.
Chloe:Maybe he’s putting a ring somewhere else. I hear older guys are all about the Prince Alberts.
Nattie:Oh, gross!
Sabrina:Yay! That’s great, Nat.
Nattie:Oh, Annabelle...
Annabelle:I knew this was coming...What, Nattie?
Nattie:Should we expect you and Declan to sneak away for some secret nookie?
Chloe:WTF! When did Belle and Dec have secret nookie? Why didn’t anyone tell me?
Sabrina:If everyone knew, it wouldn’t be a secret.
Nattie:It was last weekend!
Annabelle:IT WAS ONE TIME!!!
Nattie:We’ll see about that.
