Text to Beau

Maybe you don't want to know, but I thought I should tell you my brother is back in town, so you don't get blindsided if you run into him. I'm sure you've heard about our parents...Mattie's swooping in to save the day, apparently.

Wow, hi. Which sister is this? Gia, I'm assuming.

[nola_leonardsnart]

What, you break up with my brother a few million years ago and that's an excuse to lose my number? I'm hurt, Beau.

Kidding. Yes, it's Gia. I think Renata's too busy being surprised by what's happening to think about much of anything else.

[nola_kon_el]

I can't blame her. And it's really thoughtful of you to reach out and warn me. We did already bump into each other, of course, because the universe likes to have a laugh.

[nola_leonardsnart]

Shit. Sorry, I should have said something sooner. I'm sort of dragging my feet with everything having to do with all...this. I hope he at least wasn't an ass.

[nola_kon_el]

No, not an ass. But (and don't give me specifics) he's okay, right? He's changed so much it's kind of staggering to me, but I haven't seen him since the day he left, so.

[nola_leonardsnart]

I honestly have no idea. I haven't seen him yet, and I'm still not clear on what happened to make him quit his job and go live in the mountains to begin with. Communication? In our family? Unlikely.

[nola_kon_el]

I hope you don't mind me saying I hate your parents for the number they've done on y'all.

[nola_leonardsnart]

My parents deserve to have a whole lot worse said about them than that. So it's safe to say I'm rooting for all the people digging up dirt on them and making it public.

[nola_kon_el]

Let me know how I can help with that, seriously.
