oliver Hey. There's a package here for you. Guess they messed up the address.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Hi! Thank you so much - no idea what I ordered at this point, honestly. Cleo should be home if you want to knock and pop it on our doorstep? Speaking of, thank you for helping her not burn down the apartment complex.

[Deleted]

oliver Are you not home yet? I'll leave it at your door. Yeah, you're welcome. She seemed a bit desperate.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Not yet, thinking next week. Hopefully avoiding the post-holiday rush and then will quarantine when I get back! Thank you. She bought a turkey. I'd even be desperate and I can make decent sourdough at this point!

[Deleted]

oliver I'll send her a text about it then. Yeah. It didn't turn out half bad either.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Ooh, do we have a secret chef in our midst? Could you beat us all in a Chopped competition?

[Deleted]

oliver Oh, no. I meant Cleo. She did a good job.. but probably not under that kind of pressure.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y We could do pairs, I feel like you'd balance out her likely kitchen hurricane. I'll take Theo, and that quiet guy down the hall who gets daily Best Buy shipments down the hall can judge! I think it'd be fun!

[Deleted]

oliver No offence, but I'll pass. It sounds like the opposite of a good time.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Fine, you can judge our future endeavor but if you get food poisoning, don't blame me! Have you been doing alright over there? I know Elyse and Theo are probably gone a ton.

[Deleted]

oliver That sounds even worse than participating. I think I have, yeah. How about you? You got to go home, right?

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Across the hall beer pong tournament? That's good to hear! Yes though, still in New Mexico. First Christmas without my dad, thankful I got to see my family even during these times. It's like 80 degrees here though, not very holiday-like.

[Deleted]

oliver Fine. I'll do that. Briefly. I'm sorry, I never knew you lost your dad. That had to be weird. Yeah, I'll never get used to a Christmas without snow.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y 3 rounds minimum. Different, definitely. It's alright though. I mean, not alright, clearly...there's been a little time, but it's still strange. Unfortunately if it ever snows in LA then the world's likely about to end. Do you miss Alaska?

[Deleted]

oliver That sounds even worse than participating. Yeah. It'll be brief though. I've got great hand-eye coordination. It doesn't really get better, just different. Uhm, yeah. I mean, I definitely prefer Alaska.
