"Caroline! Who's ready for some high tea? I say high you say tea. High-" I say walking over to Caroline.

"Don't." She says, interrupting me.

"Sorry I'm just kind of excited this is my first time making a high tea. I mean for you I do this all the time, I'm a professional."

"I hope so because this has to be flawless. If I don't lose at least one friend out of jealousy it will be a complete failure."

"Hahahaha..." I laugh, then realize she isn't joking. "Oh you're not kidding. Well don't worry I got it all covered. I made three types of scones, made a traditional-"

"What about my friends who don't eat gluten?"

"Champagne deviled eggs with caviar." I reply.

"And the ones who eat vegan?"

"Almond-crusted baked eggplant." I answer.

"And what about the only ones who eat raw?"

"I'm hoping they don't come." I say under my breath.

"Excuse me?"

"I said at your service, ma'am." I say, then Caroline's phone goes off.

"Oh, look at this beautiful creature." She says, showing me a picture of a horse.

"Oh, cute pony."

"Haha. That's not a pony. It's a thoroughbred colt sired from Two Kentucky Derby Winners." She replies.

"Wow, I was sired from an iHop waitress and a car mechanic." I say, then laugh.

"Daddy is trying to win him on an auction for Josh. It'a a family tradition to buy a newly engaged man a race horse as a gift."

"Wow, our only family tradition is avoiding eye contact when grandma says something racist." I say, then Caroline looks at me in disbelief.

"Please don't talk about your life, it makes me sad."

"Well, it's not all sad. I bought a new bra...went up a cup size. When does that ever happen?" I say, excited.

"All the time, it happened to my friend Diane. Even though she went up two cup sizes, and she paid for hers. My sister did, but of course she's pregnant." Then I get worried, thinking back to when Josh and I slept together.

"Well, I'm not that. Oh no." I say, then look down at my breasts and whisper. "Go away."

"Oh, thank God you're here." I say opening the door of Josh's apartment to reveal Sofia with a brown paper bag and a coffee. "Did you bring the pregnancy test? I'm freaking out."

"Okay, just calm down. You can't be pregnant, you and Josh used protection...right?"

"Abso-" I start to say, but stop myself. "Maybe."

"Are you freaking kidding me?!" Sofia yells.

"Shh." I say.

"How could you not use protection?" Sofia asks from outside the bathroom door.

"I don't know, we had a lot of champagne and I just don't remember. Will you just stop talking, you know I can't pee when I'm nervous. I have a shy bladder."

"I wish you had a shy vagina, then we wouldn't be in this mess..." Sofia tries to say quietly.

"I heard that." I say then flush the toilet, and wash my hands.
