. so tied up

CORA Hmm, a POV shot I didn't need. You sound like your sister.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE how’s life anyway, cora? we should get the update out of the way as it’s the last i’ll ever get.

[cora wolfe]

CORA So pouty! Would you hate me less if I got the open unit down the hall and just terrorized you? Life's fine, been re-doing so many living rooms on the upper east side I may go color blind or get stabbed by a housewife when I fuck up her meaning of cerulean. Been making charcuterie boards with Grace when I see her. My dad says hi? My mom's around to terrorize me and her boyfriend wants to go lobster fishing in Maine. Dating apps are a bore. Sadie's studying. Trying to find the perfect matcha latte. Enthralling, all of it. How about you?

[tate mccarthy]

TATE i’m not really mad. well, i was, but i’m over it. busy bee. can you convince your dad to come golfing with me, uncle cass and my dad? caesar invites him but he always has an excuse. oh, same old same old. graduated. i really miss partying, i don’t do anything with my time now.

[cora wolfe]

CORA Speak now or forever hold your peace I'm about to order flamingo wallpaper in bulk. He's afraid Athena will hop out of the bushes on the back 9, tbh. Or Caesar will bring her up. But sure, I'll see if I can get him to indulge if you can run interference on either of those issues. And I know the feeling, it's all so boring but you're fucked up for saying that right now. Thank god my dealer's back in town! Also, random, but Sadie has Storm King tickets and her boyfriend bailed on her if Rosie wants to go with whenever. I think they vibe.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE ugh. have it. dad probably would bring her up, he's got a real knack for saying just the wrong thing. i'll cut him off. they're back with a bang aren't they, the number of texts! keep having to hide my phone from Rosie even though I don't actually order. tell her to dump her boyfriend. but that's really sweet of you, thanks, I'll mention it. she could do with more allies.

[cora wolfe]

CORA LOVE YOU. I'll convince him as my thank you, he really does like golf. She's been blowing me up for the past week, no joke. Hope all this time away means the quality's just astounding. Want anything for your weekend away? Nah, he's fine, a remorseful type and she knows how to put him through the ringer. Let me know, though, Sadie said she'd be down! You know she's always welcome on our little team.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE i'll get my uncle gianni to come too, even though he hates golf, he's just a good time. i do, but i shouldn't, rosie can always tell when i come back with a comedown and i don't need the judgement. don't let me stop you, though. you're so lucky to have a chill, nice sister!

[cora wolfe]

CORA Damn, this sounds like a boys club I'd love to join? Need someone to drive the booze cart? I think a little forgiveness could be managed there, tbh. A bit of a trippy weekend with cousins > you fucking off to a catch corona party sans mask! We all need a break!! I whipped her into shape, that was a lot of effort.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE i'd advocate for you joining but you stole my apartment. not up to bro code. yeah you're right, fuck it, i need to blow off some steam. get some molly, i can recover in time not to piss her off too much.

[cora wolfe]

CORA alright alright, fair point. least I didn't steal your girl though, could have been worse. I'll fold everything super nicely <3 yesssss, knew you'd come to your senses, texting now!! truly, truly could be doing worse things at this point. like, who's actually surviving this world altering event sober? The lack of brunch seating is sobering enough.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE i'm not ruling that out at this point. rosie, that's who. can freddie come for the weekend? he's always asking after you.

[cora wolfe]

CORA Damn, is she really? How have you guys not broken up yet lol. Only if he's been a very good boy. My friend Jess is here too, may as well just get a group of 10 and never leave for 3 days. Like my 14th birthday but with better party favors.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE because she's an angel and when i'm with her everything else seems like trivial bullshit. she'll drink with me now and then, but nothing like my level. ok, he won't, but i'll warn him. ugh, jess? is she the one with the infinity tattoo i fucked years ago? please say no.

[cora wolfe]

CORA Awww, is it fun being in love? That was sarcasm, he’s not Freddie if he’s not an idiot. Have missed him terribly. And the very one, pretty sure she’s got a constellation or some shit on her other hip bone now. I’ll tell her paws off, though she may try to challenge whomever deep throated the tequila bottle you left here. You’ve always been her favorite.
