12. Wren

Avery: Did you make it back okay, or was the snow an issue?

Me: No, I got home last night. I’m at the auction today.

Jana: That’s right. Want to grab dinner after?

Me: I can’t. Probably going to be stuck here until late.

Jana: Avery?

Avery: We’re going with some of Chris’s teammates to the Bolts game. Wanna go?

Jana: Hell yeah. Although with the way those guys are pairing off, there won’t be anyone to flirt with soon.

Avery: Even Bosco. You should see how cute he is with Harper. Although Evan might be pissed if he heard that you want to flirt with athletes.

Jana: Evan gets me. He’d just roll his eyes.

Avery: Wren, if you want to swing by after I’m sure Mason has extra tickets. His box holds like a zillion people.

Me: Sorry, just seeing this. The auction was ridiculously busy, but everything sold. Even my snow bridge.

Jana: Emoji of a crying face

Jana: Were you tempted to punch the person who bought it?

Me: It was an online bid, so I didn’t have to see them. They actually came in at the last minute and drove the price way up.

Avery: I bet that stirred up some excitement.

Me: Yeah. It was strange. The bidder didn’t preregister for the auction, but because they’ve purchased from us in the past, Erin let them bid. It was so dramatic. You should have seen it. The bidding went back and forth until the online bidder jumped ten thousand dollars and finally ended it.

Jana: Jeez, someone wanted that one badly, huh?

Me: I don’t blame them. It’s going to be gorgeous hanging on the lucky bitch’s wall.
