Snippet
Crystal walked over to her just then. "Do I want to know?"
"Trust me, you don't."
Crystal sipped her champagne. "You're not going to go in there and husband hunt?"
Maddie shook her head. "No, but Taylor does want me to meet Eugene."
Crystal quirked a brow. "Eugene? Is she serious?"
"Yeah," Maddie answered with a nod. "He didn't come tonight, but I was looking forward to meeting him. Rebekah assured me that he's a nice guy."
"He's also a super nerd."
"Hey! I'm one too."
"There's a big difference between comic book nerd, video game nerd, Star Wars vs Star Trek nerd, and Eugene."
Maddie chuckled. "So, he's his own brand of nerd."
"Basically. And while we're on the subject, Star Trek is better and I dare anyone to say otherwise." Crystal held up the Trekkie sign.
"I'm unqualified to have an opinion. My only viewing in the Star Wars world is Mandalorian, and that's because of Baby Yoda. I can't even tell you the difference between a Bean Counter and a Downsizer without the suits and name tags."
"I don't think anyone can."
Maddie raised a brow, then a smirk formed on her lips. "Sims 2, 3, or 4?"
"Sims 4 is just Sims 2 with better graphics and a less creepy Grim Reaper."
"You thought he was creepy too?"
"Are you kidding? Those bones on his cloak still give me the willies to this day."
They shuddered at the imagery.
Silence fell between them as their eyes landed on Rebekah and Matthew.
"They're such a beautiful couple," Maddie commented with a small smile.
"You should've seen the losers she dated before him. I can go on and on."
"How long have you known her?"
"Long enough for me to know the reason why Karen doesn't like people from that side of Toronto."
Maddie nodded. "Classist and egregious."
"Most definitely. But I have to say though, I'm the only bridesmaid here that isn't jealous of her."
"That's normal. I mean, don't the bridesmaids usually get jealous because she's the one getting married."
"No, they're jealous because she's marrying a Smith. Granted, his last name is Hill, but he's a Smith by blood. They practically run this town."
"Let me guess, they're looking for a come up."
"Exactly."
"And what about you?"
"Single by choice. I'm focused on my career right now."
"Same." Maddie shrugged.
"I don't believe that."
"What are you trying to say?"
"What's his name?"
"Who?"
"The guy that has you all in your feelings."
