Julia is squinting at her phone like she's solving a complex equation. "Look," she says, waving me over. "Felix just sent me the group picture!"
I shuffle over to where she's lounging on the floor, her fluffy robe draped over her legs like a queen's train. She's already added the photo to her Instagram story, fingers dancing over the screen as she types out the caption.
The photo's a chaotic mess in the best way—Liam flashing peace signs with both hands, me laughing with my eyes half-closed, Felix pointing finger guns at me, and Julia grinning like she's about to announce a world tour. The waiter managed to get us all in the frame, though everything's a little off-center, as if the camera itself was laughing.
Julia adds a sticker of a cartoon champagne bottle and types:
Dinner with my favorite disaster crew 💥💅 #chaosbutmakeitfashion
She tags the three of us—@liora.solene, @felix_ashford, and her boyfriend @_liammm11_—and posts it without hesitation.
