zoe
hey
i do not have the mental capacity to do mental gymnastics at the moment so i'm sorry if this makes it to you in the middle of the night

faye
it's not the middle of the night
how are you? i've seen what's going on
i hope you're okay

zoe
i feel like shit
i wish i'd waited to tell the label until i got home so that i wouldn't have to deal with this right at the end of our trip because now i've ruined everything

faye
i'm sure you didn't ruin anything

zoe
can we not talk about this right now? it's already living rent free in my head and taz keeps looking at me all worried and i need someone to talk to me about something else for just five minutes

faye
i can do that
what did you want to talk about then?

zoe
the bachelorette party
i have no idea what to do now that bree's pregnant
the only idea i do have sounds fucking stupid

faye
it probably sounds stupid because taz is taking the boys to a bar with a bunch of old game machines in it

zoe
that's exactly why it sounds stupid
my ways of having fun are either dangerous or involve alcohol
and neither are things that bree can engage in at the moment

faye
what's your idea?

zoe
i was thinking a spa day
i found someone who will come to the house and do it there

faye
what do you mean, stupid? i love that idea!!
bree's been stressing a lot while you guys have been gone and that would be a perfect way to get her to decompress tbh

zoe
okay i'll book it then
what has she been stressing about? she hasn't said a thing to me

faye
she didn't want to bother you while you were still on your romantic getaway with taz
she's just freaking out that her dress is going to look weird on her now

zoe
if anyone can pull that off, bree definitely could
besides, it's not like jay's going to care
i'm pretty sure that she could wear a crinkled paper bag and he'd still think she's the prettiest girl in the world

faye
this is true
but do you really think you wouldn't be doing the same thing in her position?

zoe
oh i definitely would be worse
but then again idk if i'll ever do the whole big white wedding thing
eloping just feels more my style

faye
even with taz?

zoe
yeah, i guess so. i just feel like doing the whole big white wedding thing would just be this endless stream of me getting upset because my mom and dad and ivy aren't here with me and i don't want to deal with that. i'd really rather just get all the happy bits and none of that sad shit

faye
that's fair

zoe
we gotta go board, so i've gotta go, but i'll book that thing and send you guys the details for it

faye
okay
tell taz i said hi

zoe
he told me to tell you to stay out of trouble

faye
i always stay out of trouble but okay
have a safe flight

zoe
will do
