I pull out my phone. I need to get it over with, so I open my text thread with Bella.

I owe you an apology.

You’re already forgiven.

For what though?

I’m going to tell you something and I need you to not freak out.

Okayyyyyyy

You were right about good girl being hot.

MA’AM

I need more details than that!

DID YOU HUMP THE HOT FIREFIGHTER?

Jesus. No.

Color me confused.

I had a panic attack.

Shit. Are you okay?

Yes. Sawyer was there to calm me down.

He good girled you during your panic attack, didn’t he?

Yes.

Don’t make me regret telling you this.

SQUEEEEEEEEE!

You’re at a 10, Bella.

I need you at a 2.

But this is huge!

Okay, at a 3.

I’m totally cool.

Absolutely Chill.

[Gif of Winifred Sanderson saying, “I am calm!”]

Welcome to the dark side, friend.

Or the smut side?

Either way, I hope you get all the good girls, atta girls, that’s my girl, etc.
