Before I Knew
“I’m definitely going to be murdered, right?” I asked as I paced my bedroom.
My best friend Isabella stared at her phone while perched on the edge of my bed, her legs crossed, and a small frown on her face.
When she didn’t say anything, I cleared my throat and asked again. “Am I really going to get murdered if I do this?”
Isabella put down her phone and looked up at me, a small smile playing on her face now. I had known Isabella for years and she was one of my best friends. She was also one of the most beautiful people I knew. Her whole family was, if I were honest. She had three gorgeous sisters, and her brother was a man who apparently made people swoon when he walked into a room. I had always thought of him as Isabella’s younger brother, so that hadn’t been a thing in my eyes. But now as I stared at my friend, I had to wonder if I’d lost my mind about the decisions I’d made.
“No. Maybe. I hope not.”
“Not helpful.” We grinned at each other before she shook her head.
“Honestly, a group chat? So they just entered your number and suddenly you were part of their meeting? That sounds a little suspicious.”
“I know, right? But it does happen. You’ve heard of it happening. There was that whole viral moment where a grandma texted the wrong person inviting him to Thanksgiving, and then it turned into this heartwarming thing.”
“I remember that. It’s just all that had happened with a group chat. You usually have to add contacts.”
“Maybe he typed it in. Who knows. But I was in there, and all of the people sounded like they were joking around and they were a family who cared about each other. A real family with sarcasm as their love language.”
“And so the real family is why you’re going to go on this coffee date?”
