The chat

She opened the message from unknown number and read it.

...

Two things:

1) we're still on for tonight, yes?

2) what's your last name?

....

Elevator guy??? Tonight!!?? Oh dear God!!! That hadn't been some sort of alcohol-induced hallucination?? She has agreed! Oh! God!!

Shit!!! It Is a rehearsal dinner and a wedding at the last minute? What was she going to wear?

Stella quickly wrote a message.

...

Stella: 1-Yes.

2-Hyde.

And if I'm coming to this thing, I need some details about when/where/etc.

.....

"Etc." meant "What the hell am I supposed to wear???" But she supposed she couldn't text that to a guy, let alone one she didn't even know.

Her phone instantly buzzed again.

...

Mike: Rehearsal dinner @7 at Beretta in the Mission. Wedding @6 tomorrow at some church, reception at the hotel.

Oh! By The way, I told Josh you're my new girlfriend, just telling you!

.....

She stared at the phone for two full minutes. His new girlfriend? She had to pretend to be his girlfriend now?
