Chapter 75

SEVENTY-FIVE

Friday

Nathan: What sort of event are you working tonight?

Rosie: A third birthday party for triplets.

Nathan: For real?

Rosie: For real.

Nathan: So… what sort of food do they have?

Rosie: Everything has a theme of three.

Nathan: How does that work?

Rosie: *sends pic of food table*

Nathan: Are those melon balls?

Rosie: Yep. Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew. And since it's not good to have toothpicks around a bunch of kids, I had to make my own out of a watermelon rind.

Nathan: Even Charles is impressed.

Rosie: I'm blushing.

Nathan: What flavor marshmallow did you make?

Rosie: Birthday cake. Not the most original, but I used a number 3 cookie cutter to stamp them out and covered them with sprinkles. The kids seem to like them.

Nathan: My birthday is in February. In case you forgot.

Rosie: I didn't forget.

Saturday

Nathan: Do you want to just come over here and skip the bar tonight? Since we have those banana 'mallows to make?

Rosie: I still can't believe you bought all that stuff.

Nathan: Believe it, Beautiful.

Nathan: And you didn't answer the question. We can order in some takeout… I'd offer to cook for you, but my specialty is microwaving frozen meals.
