As I’m leaving, he says, “And Liv.”I turn back to him.“Mom’s going to be ecstatic.You should prepare yourself forthat.”

Okay, update time!All our men are coordinated for our weekend away!And whew, that was a job.How have you managed that as well as all the planning on your own for so long?Honestly, Gage was one step away from being disowned from the family as far as I was concerned.
Olivia
Gage is ALWAYS the disobedient one!But wait until Ethan comes home.
Kristen
He’s worse than Gage?
Olivia
No.He’s the bad boy of the family and will have you twisted around his little finger.I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve changed plans on everyone simply because Ethan convinced me to.
Kristen
When he comes home, he’s all yours.
Olivia
Lol!
Kristen
I wanted to say too that I saw the gossip post about you on Instagram today and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.I DM’d them and gave them all my thoughts on the lies they’re posting.
Olivia
Thank you, Kristen.I appreciate that.
Kristen
Let’s hope for Bradford’s sake that they don’t screenshot my message.His enemies would have a field day with that.
Olivia
You’ve got lawyers in the family, remember?
Kristen
Thank goodness.And speaking of one of my favorite lawyers, what’s she doing tonight?I’m having some friends over for drinks and would love you to join us.I imagine a drink is called for after your day today.
Olivia
You have no idea.I don’t have any plans.I’d love to come over.
Kristen
This is great news because I think Gage is dropping by later, and I may need you to step in if he tells me one more time that he doesn’t want to play board games on the Saturday night while we’re away.
Olivia
Leave him to me.He’s going to love the board game I’ve selected this time.
