Jonah and Sophie

MY DAD JUST TOLD ME HE’S GOING TO GET MARRIED!

Wait, I’m confused. Do we not like the bride-to-be?

We don’t know her! He kept her a secret.

Scandalous.

Ugh . . .

So did you meet her?

Yes.

Do we hate her?

No.

What’s she like?

Perfect. She baked me a chocolate cake and made him laugh. He doesn’t laugh, he chuckles.

Sounds nice.

It was.

Tell me something fun you did today.

Why, miss us?

Yes.

Well, that makes me feel good. We miss you too. We had breakfast with Tyler, and then he took us out on his boat. There’s a small island he knows about that has a lot of birds, including two flamingos. (Sends a picture of Vivi with the flamingos in the background.)

Wow! What are they doing there?

Don’t know.

What time is your flight back tonight?

Departs at 6:50.

We’re headed to Bryan’s at 6.

You’re gone all week?

Yes, but don’t make plans for next weekend.

Why?

Because you’re mine.

Yours, huh?

Yes.

Anything particular planned?

I’ll be in a tux, preferably you’re in a nice dress.

Sounds fancy.

I suppose it is.

I seem to remember liking you in a tux.

I wouldn’t be disappointed if you wore that dress.

You just liked being able to get underneath said dress.

I do like what’s under the dress . . . you.
