“Are you calling me fat?” Mack protests “I’ll have you know, these are abs of steel”

He pulls up his shirt and flashes his eight-pack at us I avert ain There’s a crash on the patio We all turn to see Dally with her hands suspended in htly ajar At her feet is the contents of a platter of caprese salad

Mack lets the shirt drop down to cover his stomach and runs over to Dally “Are you okay?” he shouts “Are you hurt? Don’t move!”

“So you think they’re finally going to hook up?” Star asks

“Dunno Maybe if Dally re him into her lair”

“She’s not big enough for that,” Star observes

“It’s a metaphorical comment”

“I think Mack has to be the one, but he still views himself as this chubby kid who others made fun of so he’s too shy to make the first move, whereas Dally’s so hot after him, she turns into a mess and can’t even speak”

“It’ll happen They’re too cute not to be together”

“You sound pretty confident,” Star says, leaning into me

I let my arm drop around her shoulders “We found each other, didn’t we?”

My wife snuggles close “We sure did”
