So you lost an earring

I did, yes.

Uh, uh, it was, um, like, about an inch.

Can I see the picture?

I should have emailed

Yeah, yeah.

Um, since when do fish have jobs?

Yes.

Sorry. Yeah, um, how many, roughly?

Is that relevant?

How would that not be relevant?

I don't know. I'm sorry. Okay.

Diamonds, multiple.

And a pearl.

Yep, a pearl.

I'll keep it up here. Mm-hmm.

All right, we'll let

I decided to take the girls

to the Sandcastle Villas

for a little girls' trip.

Hopefully, all drama involving
the void stays in New York.

I packed my bikini, my sun hat,

Isn't it fun?

the corners are filled.
