THE SAME NIGHT. TWO HOURS LATER

When she sees the message, Kate wonders what Sasha has forgotten to tell her. They’d been together all afternoon. She reads:

Hey Kate

Remember our discussion on New Year’s Eve?

Thought I’d try something.

S. xox

She opens the attachment.

It seems so simple and yet so right. Deciding it’s too late to call, she sends her a quick reply:

Luv it! Let’s get this thing rolling.

Kate forwards Sasha’s message to four friends. Then she makes herself a tea, grabs a handful of roasted almonds, which she eats on her way to her study, and gets going on her English Lit. project.

Emma just happens to be the first of Kate’s four friends to open her email.

— How cool.

Her brother looks up.

What?

— Check this out.

He comes and leans over her shoulder dropping some sauce out of his burger onto her neck.

— Gross! Get outa here!

She wipes the sauce off. Reads it again.

She adds her name with conviction then thinks of four good friends and forwards it. She thinks about it a bit more and sends it to another three.
