I wasn’t really coming here for legal advice. Just letting you know she may be coming to town, and Cutler may mention it to you.
King
Did he tell you guys that the good doctor next door brought him and Cutler a little care package? Sounds like a little DROMANCE in the making.
She brought Gatorade for Cutler. And what the fuck is a dromance?
King
A doctor romance, you dicksicle. A.K.A. a dromance.
Romeo
Is that a romance book thing?
King
Nope. I think I invented it. But I will sure as shit be telling Saylor about it. Who doesn’t love a good dromance?
River
Someone who isn’t dating a doctor?
Hayes
Someone who doesn’t like dumbass wordplay?
Romeo
Someone who married a coffee shop owner?
Someone who is not dating his kid’s doctor. I’ll meet you at the site in twenty minutes, dicklicker.
Kingston and I had a big day ahead of us with the renovation. Flooring was going in, and this was when things started to come together.
River
Think about what I said, Nash.
All right. You can draft something up if she actually comes to town. I can try to just get her to sign it and keep things light. I can at least bring it up.
Romeo
Preparing for the punch is always smart.
Hayes
Fuck yeah. The rug can be pulled out from beneath you at any time. Remember that.
King
You cynical fuckers are bringing me down. See you soon, Nash. I’ll grab coffees for us at Magnolia Beans. They are a lot more upbeat over there, and after this riveting conversation, I need some time with the ladies.
River
Stop being so dramatic. Are we still coming to your place this weekend for the Fourth of July barbecue, Nash?
My house on the water had a great view of the fireworks, and Cutler was looking forward to having a party.
