figured the three of us would never cross paths again, but that night at dinner, Dad brought up old Mr. Morrison’s 80th birthday party.Â
‘Morrison’s big 8-0 celebration is this Saturday, but Lucas is flying back from London the same day. Talk about bad timing.”Â
‘Look, even though Toni and the Morrison boy didn’t pan out, our families have history. They’re throwing his massive party – every influential family in the city’s gonna be there. We can’t just blow it off.”Â

“Holy shit, is that Toni Sterling? Who’s this random chick having a breakdown on the floor?”Â
“Dude, that’s the Morrisons’ live in nanny or whatever. Sterling must’ve really fucked her up if she’s pulling this desperate crying act in front of everyone.”Â
“Oh snap, this is juicy. Everyone knows Toni’s been thirsty for Xavier since forever. He probably friend-zoned her hard, so now she’s going psycho on his side piece.”Â

“Wait, Xavier’s banging the help? Damn, look at her though she’s got that whole ‘poor innocent victim’ thing down. I’d hit that.”Â
