*looks up*
*Sarah* So not the girls or a vendor. He was already sitting in
the kitchen when I got inside? Wasn't the door locked?
He does that. W-what're you doing here?
*Nate* Questioning your off-brand choice in decor.
*walks past him and Sarah into the house* Not what I meant. How?
*Nate* *following* The address is literally on the invitation?
But no one really knew we were here this early--Chloe. Chloe
told you. Fxcking Christ.

Why are you here? You may have been invited but you didn’t
respond.

*Nate* This welcome is awful, you guys really need to work on
your hospitality. Do you have a Yelp page?
*bites back a laugh*
*Sarah* He’s funny, you didn’t say he was funny.
Sarah, I think I left something out in the vineyard.
*Sarah* Ugh, fine. *leaves*
Nate. What the fxck.
*Nate* I didn’t respond, I know. That’s why I needed to come
out.
Phones. There are phones. My number hasn’t changed.

*gulps the rest of my wine*
*Frankie* Maybe slow down a bit.
Might have to throw hands at Nate, gotta be ready.
*Frankie* As exciting as that sounds, no.

*Nate* Oh my god, the hostility. It’s me! Calm down.
I’m waiting for an answer.
*Nate* *sighs* I realized the wedding was coming and Sam was
sick of listening to me so I talked to Chloe. She said she knew
you’d be here already because she was coming for some fancy pre
wedding cocktail party.
We had like 2 years to talk, Nate, and we didn’t. Why now?
*Nate* Can everyone calm down a little? Can we sit and have a
drink?

*crosses arms**shakes head* Not a chance.
*Frankie* I think she asked you a question. Why do you keep
deflecting?

*Nate* I’m not deflecting. I said I needed to talk to her now so
I came.
That’s not the “why” though, Nate. Why now?
*Nate* Because I realized I was being a coward and I should have
just responded to the invitation like an adult, so I needed to
come apologize in person. It’s a big occasion and to totally
ignore it was childish. —-that is a lie lmao—
*Sarah* *comes back in* Girls are stuck at the airport, their
driver flaked, can’t get a new driver to agree to travel that
far/long without a previous booking. I guess I’m going to get
them? Praise me later. *leaves waving keys*

*Frankie* Poor Sarah. I could’ve gone…
No, she shouldn’t be subjected to Nate’s lies. —-I’m laying it
on thick—-
*Frankie* *to Nate* It seems like you could’ve just responded to
the invite instead of coming in person. Better late than never.

I appreciate it, Frankie, but Sarah's fine to go, she about to
climb Nate like a tree anyway.
*Nate* I'm not lying! And no I couldn't just RSVP now because
Sam already told me she asked him if I got the invite and he
ratted me out. I needed to admit my cowardice in person. God you
are all still REALLY mad.
You lied to me FOR WEEKS. I thought you were doing some scouting
in Egypt, you were in war-torn Syria looting temples that were
being actively BOMBED. You knew I wouldn't approve and would
have fight you and not let you go so you lied. We talked on the
phone every night and you lied. If you had died I-I wouldn't
haven't even known about it.
*Nate* I called you from the airport and the last thing you said
to me was "I love you, wake me up when you get home." I got home
and all your stuff was gone, pictures off the walls, you knew
you wouldn't be home when you said that.
*takes a deep breath* Yeah....lying is really ugly isn't it?

*sighs* *to Nate* You’ve done a lot of damage. Of course we’re
still mad about it. You seem hung up on it, too. But then I
remember that you usually joke around in serious conversations…
*Frankie**looks down at his hands* *clears throat* *clears
throat* Well, sometimes laughter helps the situation… I would
know, too.
Don’t turn the conversation on you. Please.
