“For the love of God, Hanna, where are you?" he yelled.

Across the room she lowered her fruity drink, held up her hand decorated with a beautiful engagement ring, and called out, "Is that what this ring means? That I come to your rescue?"

He nodded fervently, shouting, "Yes!”

“Look, I wanted to mention something to you," I said. Play it off as casual. Play it off as no big deal. Be cool.

Her lips curled up in an amused smile. "Okay?"

"You know what a horrible prankster Will can be." She nodded and I continued: "I may have just done something to get back at him and I swear," I said, resting a hand on her shoulder, "I swear, Hanna, you'll think it's hilarious... eventually."

"Eventually?"

"Absolutely. Eventually."

She considered me through narrowed eyes. "This is just a prank, right? No shaved heads or scars?"

I pulled back to study her. "That was a very specific question. Scars?" I shook my head, clearing it. "And no, no, no, no. Just a silly little prank." I gave Hanna my best smile, the one Chloe said made panties drop. But apparently it only made Hanna more suspicious.

Her eyes narrowed further. "What would I need to do?"

"Nothing," I said. "You'll probably see some weird stuff but just... go along with it."

"So, basically be oblivious."

"Exactly," I said.

"And this will be funny?"

"Hilarious."

She thought about it for a full ten seconds before reaching out to shake my hand. "You're on.”

“What is even happening here?" Will said, looking to each of us and the back to wherever the cougars had wandered off to.

"Am I drunk? Hanna, they just pinched my ass and this one"- he motioned to George- "wants to claim me for his own. A little help?"

Hanna took a drink off her frilly drink, complete with big pink umbrella and some sort of neon glow stick. "I don't know, you seem to be doing pretty well on your own there," she said, then took another long pull of her straw.”
