Chapter THIRTY-SIX

MEREDITH

Day one since Josef left.

Sof

Okay ladies, I am starting this texting chain because I have an idea.

Des

God help us. (SNORT)

Mer

How did you guys get my phone number and why are your contacts already in here? And OMG is my name shortened?

Sof

Sweetie, just breathe. Your husband is not called Big Bad for nothing. He handles all Volkov Industries securities, so if you think exchanging all our info so we can text chat is wild, just wait!

Des

Sof, be nice. Meredith probably thinks we’re creepy!

Mer

I don’t think you’re creepy. LOL. I was just surprised. Okay, Sof, so what’s the idea?

Des

Please don’t say yoga.

Sof

Yoga? Yuck. No, thank you! Saturday Night Live killed that for me with the whole hot yoga skit. My idea is this: sourdough.

Mer

Your idea is sourdough?

Des

Pretty sure someone beat you to that Sof.
