Resting Scrooge Face

by Meghan Quinn

My palms sweat, my nerves kick up, and I’m so freaked out about what to do because sitting right next to me is none other than Nola Bisley.

EEEEKKKK I COULD FEEL THE Anxiety !

“Here you go, Caleb. Two eggs; a buttered bagel; three strips of bacon, extra crispy; and one black coffee. Let us know if you need anything else.”

fucking cheese on rice ! REALLY !

We need to friend zone each other, right here and now.

ohhhh how the forbidden fruit tastes so much sweeter

I catch a glint of gold sparkle under my store’s fluorescent lights. I turn just in time to catch Arden slipping a very familiar gold envelope into his pocket. What. The. Hell. There is no way. No freaking way that . . . that . . . no. It can’t be true. There’s no way that Nola is Ho Ho—

oooooohhhhh shit ohhhhhhh shit

This is my second chance, and if I don’t do something now, I could lose her forever.

dddduuuuurrrrr

I’m beginning to suspect these letters that you think you’re so coy about hiding have actually put that nonsmile on your face.”

look at granny peeping shit sssllllaaayyyy

chutney?”

hhhmmmm i really ought to try some chutney

‘Please make this for me, I have no idea what chutney is.’”

THE WAY I LAUGHED OUT LOUD SOOO SOOO FUCKING GOOD. LITERALLY JUST LEARNED ABOUT CHUTNEY TODAY !

as I turn around, I come face to face with Grandma Louise.

I FUCKING KNEW IT - SHE WASNT NAPPING 4 SHIT ONCE OL BOY CAME UP IN THERE TO HELP PAINT LMFAO

“Just remember, sometimes people come back into your life for a reason.”

uh DUR

A not so Resting Scrooge Face anymore

OOOHHHHH HOW THE TABLES TURN

“Nola, you are truly the best part of my life. I have the best memories from when we were together. I had the best laughs with you by my side. And even when we went through some hard times, knowing I had you to lean on took away some of the pain. When I lost you, I lost a part of myself along the way. But you’re here now, and slowly, you helped bring that part back to life with your letters.” I link our fingers together, hers in gloves, mine not. “I’m so sorry for the past, for treating you the way that I did. And I promise you, if you give me another chance, I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.”

NOW THATS HOW A MAN GROVELS AND FIGHTS FOR HIS LOVE

“Then I would have gone to find you.”

ccccuuuuttteeeee

when I part my lips, she reciprocates the kiss and steals my very soul for her own. Forever.

ssssslllllaaaaayyyyy get it HEART BREAKER BOY , shall I say HEART MENDER MAN

“Your Resting Scrooge Face.”

GGGAAAAHHHH HAPPY FEEL GOOD JOY EMOTIONS JUST THREW UP INTERNALLY

We turn only to find Arden and Grandma Louise standing next to each other. Grandma Louise has her arm looped through Arden’s as they stand there, smiling up at us.

I fucking knew these 2 were in on it

“No, you didn’t, you buffoon. I told you,” Grandma Louise argues. “Giving her that letter was my idea.”

POP OFF QUEEN
