your body freezes in place when youโre asked about the wedding. crap, you forgot. but it isnโt like you received any invite.
โtheo sent you an invite through the mail. you got it right?โ your friend, leila, asks you. leila and her fiancรฉ theo have been your friends for years now, ever since you met leila during a movie priemere and shared respect on each other's careers. sheโs been your closest friend, so theo naturally had to come along too.
โwhat? yeah,โ you lie right through your teeth, and guilt punches you in the face when you stare right into her bright eyes. you raise the cup of coffee. โwas literally jumping for joy when i got it.โ
leila sighs in relief. โthank god we got the right address,โ she says and you question what she means by that before she continues, โwe didnโt know whether to send it to your apartment or drewโs.โ
your breath is caught and you pause before your drink reaches your lips.
โdrew,โ you repeat, and she nods.
โyeah, but we figured youโll both see it either way so, sent it to his place โcause theo said it was closer,โ leila says, and you raise your eyebrows in amusement. โbut anyway! before the wedding, i wanted to stay with our inner circle so if itโs possible for a little two-week vacation? the venue is close to my mom and her boyfriendโs house so weโd just be staying there. i wouldโve picked after the wedding if theo didnโt already have the honeymoon planned. heโs too excited.โ
โwait, two weeks?โ you inquire, โwhoโs coming?โ
she shrugs, โyou and drew, libby, gia . . .โ she trails off as she thinks about it, and you swallow as you set your cup down. โi forgot who else. i know itโs one of theoโs coworkers but i forgot who. let me text him actually.โ
your face lights up at the opportunity to get away, and you nod. โi need to call drew actually,โ you say, and she smiles and nods as you stand from your seat and make your way to her living room. โneed to remind him to take the . . . fish . . . out.โ
โfish?โ
โweโre having fish tonight, yeah.โ
you turn away to scroll through your contacts until you find his, then click on it. you settle down on the couch as you wait anxiously for him to pick up, and just hope that he does.
just before the call goes to voicemail, the line clears. โyeah?โ
