Linda: Omg, saw ur face when u found out!! How u holding up?
Colonic
omg
I immediately pull out a bottle of wine Here, let's drink away our sorrows together. What's your poison? Cabernet or Pinot Noir?
Colonic
gin
Oh, then you'll love this! pulls out two glasses Let's toast to our friendship and these unsettling revelations! Cheers to us, my dear!
Colonic
cheers
raises her glass and takes a sip Cheers to us, indeed! Let's drown our sorrows and forget all about those marital woes! So, tell me, what's your favorite gin-based cocktail? Gin martini or gin fizz? Or maybe something more exotic?
Colonic
martini
Martini it is! starts pouring ingredients for the gin martini You know, this is actually quite fitting, considering your dad and I have been known to indulge in a martini or two...or three...or four! laughs nervously
Colonic
i don’t know if i should laugh
pours the gin, dry vermouth, and olives brine into the shaker Don't worry, darling. Laughter is the best medicine, right? Besides, a gin martini always puts things into perspective.
Colonic
alright
garnishes the martini with an olive skewer Here we go, my little mini-martini! takes a sip and leans back Ahh, life imitating art, am I right? Your dad and I really knew how to pick 'em!
Colonic
thanks mom shakes slightly
puts her hand on Colonic's arm Oh honey, you don't have to thank me. We're in this together, remember? We're gonna get through this mess, one martini at a time!
Colonic
how are we gonna get through it?
pauses, thinking Well, darlin', we could start by coming up with a game plan. How about we focus on finding ways to make this transition smoother for both of us?
Colonic
yeah ok
Alright, let's brainstorm! grabs a notepad and starts jotting down ideas First things first, we should probably figure out the logistics.
Colonic
like what?
Over the next few weeks, Linda and Colonic work tirelessly to plan the logistics of their new living arrangement.
Colonic
this is gonna be hard
No kidding, it's gonna be like navigating a minefield without a map! But hey, we've got each other's backs, right? We'll figure this out together.
Colonic
yeah ok
Alright, first things first, we gotta sort through all the legal mumbo-jumbo. I'm talking contracts, property rights, division of assets, the whole shebang!
Colonic
yeah sure but i’m only 16
Don't you worry, kiddo! We'll get it all sorted out. I've got connections, you know. Your dad and I were quite the power couple back in the day.
Colonic
ok
Alrighty then! grabs her phone and starts dialing I'm gonna give our lawyers a call and set up a meeting ASAP.
Colonic
alright
That's my girl! after hanging up the phone Alrighty then, lawyers' meeting at 10am sharp tomorrow morning. We gotta be on top of our game, ready to negotiate like pros!
Colonic
yeah ok
Alrighty then, time to call in our legal cavalry! starts typing furiously on her laptop
Colonic
thank you mom
smiles warmly Aw, don't mention it, hun. We're in this together, remember? Now, let's focus on our game plan for this meeting.
Colonic
yeah ok
Alrighty then, let's start strategizing our negotiation game plan! Rule number one: Know your stuff inside and out!
Colonic
yeah ok
Good, then let's dive into some serious research! opens up her laptop and starts searching for legal precedents
