In the photo, it looked as if Cordy was John's bride, and they were really getting married…
Cordy pursed her lips as she stared at it.
She then tore her eyes away and replied to Zoe's text: [Don't send that photo anywhere else or tweet it. It's inappropriate.]
[Puh-lease. What's inappropriate about that? The four of us are just gorgeous—we'd be the kings and queens of showbiz!]
Zoe's excitement was palpable, but Cordy was stern nonetheless.
[Zoe, I'm not the bride.]
Zoe could actually feel Cordy's wrath even from behind the screen—she was livid, even.
As such, Zoe quickly replied: [I won't tweet it. I just wanted to show you how good us four looked. Just save it for posterity.]
Cordy, however, disagreed—she was adamant that the photo was inappropriate.
Maybe she just wanted to avoid looking at the photo and let her imagination go astray.
Still, it was Zoe's photo, and it was her freedom if she wanted to save it.
[Aren't you a little upset, Cordy?] Zoe asked gingerly.
Cordy denied it. [Nope.]
[It feels like you're upset that John is getting married.]
[You're imagining things.]
[Honestly, there are times you shouldn't lie to yourself, Cordy. I think Wendy doesn't suit my brother too.]
[Don't say that, Zoe. And definitely not now.]
Cordy had just texted that when Zoe called her.
She answered it, and Zoe seemed to muster her courage to say, "Zoe, I think I'd regret it if I don't get this off my chest…"
Cordy pursed her lips.
She actually knew what Zoe would say, but did not stop Zoe—much to her own surprise.
