Page 12 of Finding Hayes
My best friends and I had an ongoing group chat, and someone was always texting something.
Romeo
I heard Savvy is back in town. Have you seen her, Hayes?
King
That’s who you should have dated all those years ago, instead of that evil, cheating hellion.
River
She’s back for the funeral. Ruby called and asked me to look over the will. Abe left her everything but has some requirements in there that are a little… unusual.
Nash
He left her everything? That’s pretty amazing. It’s great when the good guy wins, you know?
Romeo
Savvy was always nice to everyone. What kind of unusual requirements could he put in the will?
King
Does she have to share the land with the Mexican cartel to bring drugs across the border? Provide asafe house for homeless alpacas? Start a cannabis farm and keep the whole town high as a kite?
Nash
Where do you come up with this shit?
King
The inside of my head is a beautiful place.
River
Well, it’s also a crazy place. None of those things are correct, you crazy fucker. I don’t have the details, so I’m waiting to look over the paperwork on Monday.
Romeo
Have you seen her yet, Hayes? I know it’s been a long time. But you two were tight back in the day.
King
You never once hooked up? All those sleepovers and all that time you spent together?
Nash
He has noreason to lie. He was with Kate. He and Savvy were always just friends.
Romeo
Demi said Savvy stopped into Magnolia Beans, and she went on and on about how stunning Sav is. And she said that she’s just as nice as she always was.
What the fuck is this? An episode of The Bachelor? Why are we talking about this? We were friends, and then we weren’t. I saw her. She seems like she’s doing well. Still hates me for no fucking reason. I’m glad you’re going to help her out, River. She deserves to keep that inheritance.
River
Yeah. I’ll do what I can to help her. It’s not my area of expertise, but I’ll read it over and hopefully, I can help.
