Let's grab lunch. What're your plans for the day?

Just work. I can make time for lunch though. What's up?

Just needing time outside of my bubble. Things are very... kids, adulting, everything.

Ahh understandable. We can make sure to avoid all the serious adulting topics, if you'd like...

I think I'm getting in my own head. I know Lucy doesn't want marriage right now but the more homey we get, the more I wonder if I should be. I love the woman. It's a lot.

Definitely sounds like you're getting in your own head. You should cut that out. Expanding the family has gone on the fast track doesn't mean everything else has to.

I know this, I just need logic pumped into me.

Happy to help. Life's crazy enough on its own, it doesn't need our help ;)

It really doesn't. Did I tell you what Lucy will be doing with that place her uncle left them?

You did not?

They are going to fix it up and make their own business.

Wow, ambitious! What sort of business?

I'm not entirely sure they're sure yet, but something. It just adds to the feelings of needing to do something. I'm still working for my uncles, haven't found a good job yet. Definitely making ends but not like I'd like. I need a night off.

You'll sort it all out. Let's have a night off then? Rather than lunch? Or in addition to? Cards and drinks or clubs and bar hopping?

Cards and drinks sounds good. We could do both. Get a small group of guys together. Aldrich, Gavin might be free, Tina has that new guy. Probably include Hans. I'm sure I'm missing people...

Gavin, really? We can do that, definitely. Any day in particular?

Is it mean to schedule the same night the magpies play?

Oh no, it looks like this Sunday is the only day I'm free in the next week. How terrible of a coincidence that the Magpies are playing that day 👀

Terrible indeed. Let's send out messages. Where the fuck are we playing? I'm not asking Hailey's girlfriend

Aloysius sometimes lets parties reserve private rooms above the Carnival, we could go there.

That will be prefect

Excellent, I'll set it up!

Thank you.
Now that we have curved my breakdown. How's it going? Any breakdowns?

No breakdowns on my end. Things are going rather smoothly, all things considered. If I were a superstitious man, I might wonder what sort of doom and gloom were on the horizon. As it is, I'm enjoying every moment of it.

Doom and gloom is always on the horizon, let's just hope that it's something like a ridiculous sex injury. Pull a muscle doing something we're far too old for.

Who are you calling old? There's no doom and gloom, there are good things ahead, mate!

We'll see how you feel when you're watching the twins for me, Uncle Nate.

It's cute you think I'll be doing babysitting duty. Though I wonder if Beau

Wishful thinking, what can I say?

I've got to head into a meeting in a few, but I'll make sure to book that room with Aly. Maybe he'll join us for a game or two.

Thank you, I'll put you down for watching the twins the third weekend in January 2029. Thanks, mate!

Oh shucks, looks like I have a conference that weekend. Bummer.
