We started with a soft launch on Instagram, both to ease everyone into it and to keep up Project Selfie. Eden and I started with selfies at dinners to get people—mostly my followers—curious, and to drop to our friends that we’ve started hanging out. Then we upped the romance. I posted a photo of Eden smiling cutely across the table while I held her hand, and she posted a selfie of me kissing her on the top of her head. The last two set the guy group chat on fire.

Ryan

Dude WTF.

Beau

Which dude are you addressing?

Ryan

The one dating your girlfriend’s bestie.

Beau

WHAT?

Nate

Process of elimination suggests Luke owes us an explanation.

James

Hopefully the bestie in question is Eden and not one of our wives.

Luke

Everyone can relax. Yes, Eden and I are seeing each other, but it’s new. We’re seeing where it goes.

Beau

Does Brinley know???

Luke

Yes.

Beau

She didn’t tell me???????????? Dude WTF!

Ryan

Maybe she’s mad at you.

Beau

I hope not. She was pretty annoyed that I ate the last strawberry Pop Tarts.

Nate

I thought you called Pop Tarts “an insult to pastries everywhere.”

Beau

They grew on me.

Also, Luke, do me a favor and don’t break Eden’s heart, because I really don’t know where the sublaws of Guy Code and Girlfriend Code lie on that.
