Arthur replied immediately, said it was fine and offered to host. But when Marcus responded, he said he wanted to host because they wanted to show off the new house, which Paul knew was Marcus believing Frankie wanted to show off. Arthur complained he had plenty to show off too, because they’d settled on the plans for the cabin remodel. For three days Paul’s phone buzzed as Arthur and Marcus argued, until Gabriel suggested they bring the cabin plans along, enjoy Frankie’s cooking, and plan another event at the cabin soon. Frankie thought this was a wonderful idea and offered to make chili, and why didn’t everyone else bring a dish to pass? There was some argument over who would bring what sides, but eventually Paul was able to text Kyle. We’re meeting to discuss the Winter Wonderland thing at 2:30 at Marcus and Frankie’s place on Sunday. Does that work for you? Frankie was trying to not wake you up too early but leave enough time before your shift.
