AUDRA

Ididn’t know how flustered I would be when my family dinner plans changed so unexpectedly. It’s not like that happened often, so I knew that things really had to be bad. But with my dad having the flu, and my brother picking up an afternoon shift for a coworker, only one brother and my dad’s wife could make it. So, we decided to postpone dinner.

Audra

Guys, I’m bummed. My family canceled on me. I have like 10 pounds of fajita meat and all the fixings. Anyone want to come over?

Jules

If anything would get me to come to Savannah Springs tonight, it’s meat.

Cora

I wish I could

Maeve

Tuck and I have plans, too. Bring some to the office tomorrow if you’re on Main. We’ll happily take some, and I’m sure Donovan would too. You make the best fajitas in the world.

Little did she know that was already my master plan.

Audra

Ugh. There’s no way these potted plants will survive for weeks either. Anyone want potted plants, too?

Cora

You can do it, Audra! All you need is water!

Jules

You’re rolling your eyes at me? You just told her plants need water.

Maeve

Are you bringing your margs too? I’m confident Sir Donovan will let us drink at noon. What time is your shift?

Sir was a salutation we gave to Donovan when Maeve first started working for him. He never cracked a smile then, and really only talked to her about professional things. Plus, he just seemed so damn stuffy and serious all the time.

Audra

I can’t drink before my shift, but I can bring some for the two of you. I’m covering for someone from 1-7 tomorrow, so plan on an 11:30 lunch?

Jules

I miss you guys.

Maeve

You’re not far. But if you moved back, you could join us for lunch.

Jules

I need a more robust sausage variety than Savannah Springs can offer.
