FILTERED TO STELLA, ANGIE, EMBRY - after lunch

You know what's a hilarious thought? Me being a politician's wife. I mean, me being a politician's girlfriend is kind of a humorous thought on its own, but here we are.

Anyway, it turns out I'm going to be one, after some time as a politician's fiancée.

Hey, you. How are you?

-- Are you Tindering?

Hello, Tessa. I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting, outside of when I first came to town, but I'm Esther Shaw. I'm a big fan of your and your sister's work.
