It was a conveniently small group—maybe a little too small—and they all seemed to be vibrating on the same wavelength, cracking jokes and laughing a little too loudly, toasting Margo for her excellent scarf collection, Dumell for service to his country, Amanda for the alcoholic beverages, and Julian simply for showing up, representing the millennials.
Mr Perrotta, please don’t phone in with this tell-y narrative nonsense. It’s hard to believe this group will suddenly bust into best buds party mode, but don’t shrink away from the challenge: show us how it can happen! It would be a fun read (kind of like the play ball! scene)
