I SPECIFICALLY ASKED YOU NOT TO DEFILE MY ROOM, GRAFF
Which trophy was it? It better not be my pee-wees one that Adam and I won!
Fletcher
Chill. I’m joking, we didn’t defile your room lol
Calvin
Good. You and I were going to have words if you did.
Trigg
I’m proud of you, Graff. You did it
Fletcher
Thanks, man. It was a good night.
Grace
When’s the next date?
Fletcher
I’m not sure. I have to look at the list again.
Figure skating at the arena. I have to talk to the GM about that one. If not, I’ll talk to her boss, and we can do it at the community rink I bet.
Calvin
Good plan. I bet they let you use the arena. They trust you. Me on the other hand? Yeah, no way would they trust me to be in the arena alone after hours.
Trigg
No chance.

LYDIA
TWENTY-ONE WEEKS PREGNANT
“Do you want to have a theme for the shower?” Grace asks, scribbling in her crinkled notebook.
We’re at Grace’s small apartment this morning to plan the baby shower. We have a FaceTime meeting with my mom and Dottie soon, but Grace wanted to get a few things decided before we got started.
I shake my head. “Nope. I’m not picky.” An idea pops into my head as soon as I finish, though. “Actually, what about ladybugs?”
“Ladybugs?” Zoey questions.
“Yeah,” I reply sheepishly. “Fletcher has always called me Lydi-bug for some reason, and when he found out I was pregnant, he started calling the baby ladybug. He told me the baby was a girl with a ‘Little Lady’ ladybug onesie.”
“Oh, that’s adorable. We have to do a ladybug theme,” Zoey squeals, clapping her hands together.
