@linda.atzenberger: I said I was just picking Mia up. That was the first lie of the evening. Mia is one of those friends who can turn a completely normal plan into a story before we’ve even reached the destination. She gets into the car looking suspiciously innocent, I give her the look, she gives it straight back, and suddenly we’re both pretending we have absolutely no idea how these nights keep happening to us. 😇 We’ve known each other long enough that half our conversations don’t need words. One glance means let’s go. Another means don’t you dare. And the dangerous little smile means somebody has just suggested something we’re definitely going to pretend wasn’t our idea later.
