zoegirl:
maddie, her dad’s not having an affair—he lost his job.
mad maddie:

zoegirl:
he was fired. isn’t that terrible?
mad maddie:
WHY?
zoegirl:
i don’t know. “downsizing” is what her dad told her.
mad maddie:

zoegirl:
and get this: it happened over a month ago. i mean, mrs. silver knew, but not angela and chrissy.
mad maddie:
he’s been hiding it this whole time?
mad maddie:
it’s so dumb when grown-ups do that. don’t they know it always makes things worse?
zoegirl:
tell me about it.
mad maddie:
so who was the mystery woman at starbucks?
zoegirl:
well, i asked angela that—although i didn’t mention the affair part, so don’t you either. and angela said it was probably his career counselor. he’s, like, got to start his life all over again.
mad maddie:
whoa
mad maddie:
what’s he gonna do?
zoegirl:
i don’t know. angela couldn’t talk long because she had to get back to the table, but she said she’ll tell us more when she gets home.
mad maddie:
man oh man
zoegirl:

zoegirl:
angela! what’s going on? WHAT’S worse?
mad maddie:
CALL ME, YOU BIG DUMMY! call me and i’ll add zoe in. then you can tell us instead of bad-thumb-typing us.
SnowAngel:
if i cld talk, i wld. but i can’t. all you’d hear is me bawling. plus if i heard your voices i’d break down even more.
zoegirl:
angela? you’re kind of scaring me. please tell us what’s wrong. please?
SnowAngel:
fine. there’s no other way to say it, so i just will.
SnowAngel:

you *can’t* move! you … you can’t!
SnowAngel:

SnowAngel:
WHAT???
