An angry text from Adriana

As you begin working your way through dinner, you receive a dreaded but much-expected text from Adriana.

you fucked up

the way the other guys were looking

they got the treat that you might have had

such a shame

You sigh, taking a bite of your broccoli, and type back a message.

Something came up, sorry. Should have told you earlier.

It’s only half a lie, you tell yourself. Sure, Adriana will be a little mad, but you’ve dealt with worse before.
