“Hi Kel.”
“Whatcha reading?”
“ ‘Midnight Kisses’ by H T Jordan.”
“Any good?”
“You wouldn’t like it.”
“Like, how would you know?”
“It’s romance.”
“Oh.”
Avie grinned, then gestured to Kelsey’s stomach.
“Is it official yet?”
Kelsey groaned.
“Yes, and I’m gonna like, kill Zac.”
“I guess you were never warned about the family curse then?” Avie giggled.
“Family curse?”
“Yeah, all my bros – well, except Mackie, for obvious reasons – have gotten their wife preggers within a month of getting married.”
“Ugh. Y’know, I was like, planning on waiting a few years. I don’t want a kid now. This sucks.”
“Don’t worry. You’ll be fine. Ooh guess what?”
“What?”
“I got the part!”
“Really? Congrats!”
“Thanks. This is gonna be so cool.”
“When does shooting start?”
“Three weeks.”
“That long?”
“Well, they do have other preprod stuff to do, and I don’t think they’ve gotten all the parts cast yet either.”
“Oh, ok. Well, I’ll let you get back to your book. I think I’ll go down to the studio and break the news to Zac. They’re looking over the photos from the second photo shoot today, I think.”
“Ok. Bye.”
“See ya.”
