Fine. We probably owe him. He did do a lot of the cooking.
Actually that probably works better, because Larissa and
Zach invited him for dessert too. They are all like best buds
at the studio. Thanks, Mitch.
Good. I’m glad he’ll be going.
I know you get on really well with Larissa, but
I wasn’t sure how I felt about you going alone.

I am 23 and capable of taking care of myself, you know.
But I’m glad you are looking after me.
See you soon.
Devin... You are invited to the movie and to dinner.
And I managed to make Mitch think it was his idea.
Hmm. This might actually work.
Though I don’t know how to explain driving
you to dessert with Larissa and Zach.

Don’t ponder too hard. I already handled
it and Mitch actually liked the idea
of you going with me.
You think of everything.

I bow down to the Master
Hardly.
You must have your mind on other things.
Now help me pick out something to watch.
There’s a 3:45 showing or a 4:00 showing
of that new action movie that just came out.

Let’s do the 3:45 showing.
A woman who knows what she wants.
Should I meet you at the theatre?

I walked downstairs, my phone in my pocket, and found Megan unpacking things in the master bedroom. “Hey,” I said, leaning against the doorframe.
Megan jumped a little, startled by my voice. “Sorry, I didn’t see you there. What’s up, Christy?”
“So I took you guys up on the offer. I decided I wanted to watch a movie. It starts at 3:45, so it will end just in time for dinner afterward.”
“Awesome. Mitch said he was on his way home, so we could leave in maybe an hour?”
“Sounds good. I’ll go tell Emily.”
I walked to the living room and found her watching TV. “Hey, Em, we’re going to the movies in an hour and then going to dinner.”
“Whatever, I’ll be ready.”
“Glad to hear it. It wouldn’t have mattered to me if we took you still in your pajamas and no makeup.”
“You would never get me out of the house looking like this,” she said, shooting daggers at me with her eyes.
“Just be down here in an hour, ready to go.” I pulled my phone out and texted Devin the time we were leaving.
Awesome. I’ll see you there.
Just make sure Emily doesn’t sit next to me

Haha. She’s not that scary, but that’s a no brainer.
I wouldn’t dream of making you sit next to her.
Thanks, CJ.

You can thank me later.
Believe me, I will.

I grabbed a quick snack then went upstairs to get ready and get through some more of my book. I looked in my closet and chose the blue and black dress I bought on sale off a designer clothing website that sold all sorts of things for half off when certain places were getting ready to put new lines in their store. It was a Dolce & Gabbana dress cropped above the knees with intricate lace and beading.
I paired it with a black jacket that matched the dress well and my Steve Madden shoes. I was pretty proud of the ensemble when it was time to go. I didn’t feel too dressed up nor did I feel second rate.
“You look amazing, Christy,” Megan said, looking pretty good herself. “Are those shoes Steve Madden?”
I looked down at my shoes, even though I didn’t have to see them to answer the question. “Yes. I found them for forty percent off because they had a small spot on them, but I got it out pretty easily.”
