bree
so i had an idea

zoe
oh no
did it explode

bree
you know for someone who is not a man and does not have any children you sure do tell a lot of jokes that sound like they come straight from my father's mouth

zoe
thank you

bree
i didn't mean it as a compliment you absolute buffoon

zoe
oh i know
and in my defence, i have a nephew
it's close enough

bree
it is not close enough but okay
can i tell you about my idea now

zoe
is it going to cause me bodily harm?

bree
do you usually experience bodily harm when hiking?

zoe
fuck man idk
i did jump out of a tree once
almost broke my fucking ankle

bree
oh yeah lmao i forgot about that
seriously tho, would you be down to come for a hike with us?

zoe
fuck idk
it's been like a year since i've done anything
i guess if it's just us and jay i'd be okay
and you don't pick a trail that's on nightmare mode

bree
what if it was the whole wedding party?

zoe
no

bree
come on, please

zoe
i agreed to being in taz's vicinity, i did not agree to hanging out

bree
can you agree now?

zoe
no

bree
please
i just don't want things to be awkward at the engagement party

zoe
i can show up high if you want

bree
you don't have to come if you promise not to show high to the engagement party

zoe
you're a buzzkill
fine, i'll go
but if he hates me now i'm coming home

bree
why would he hate you?

zoe
i mean i did basically scream at him to get out of my life

bree
well, i can promise you that he doesn't hate you

zoe
i'll believe it when i see it
