Dex insisted on running out to get a few groceries before making breakfast, mentioning something about avocados on the way out, so I have been instructed to stay put. Before he left, he got me all situated on the sofa in the living room, propped up with pillows and a blanket like I'm a child home sick from school.
While he's gone, I check the messages that I never got to from Cricket and Jay. They're mostly memes and wishing me well—both of them saying how excited they are to see me again on Monday. It feels like ages since I've been at work joking around with them and dodging Laurel's judgmental glares. I'm excited to get back—even if it means being the target of Laurel's unhappy character. I'll take it.
