“My mom’s new tattoo, what do you guys think?” I ask them through my laughter.

“Oh, my God. This is fucking epic! I think we should all get this tattooed on our asses,” Kennedy laughs, handing the paper to Paige.

She reads it over quickly and giggles. “Oh, this is perfect. Mrs. Warner, you are a genius. We’re definitely going with you.”

Dallas holds his hand out for the paper and Paige gives it to him. He reads it out loud. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice . . . I don’t fucking think so.”

This just makes us all dissolve into laughter again.

“I think this should be our slogan. I’m going to get a new sign made for the front of the building,” Kennedy says.

“We were fools once, but never again,” Paige announces.

“Shame on you two for thinking that opening this business would never work,” Kennedy tells us with a shake of her head.

Paige nods in agreement. “Shame on me for not believing we could do this.”

They both look at me and smile. “And shame on all the fucking ‘hims’ in our lives for screwing us over!”

The three of us cheer and clink our glasses together.

We were all fooled at one point in our lives, but I guess we should be thankful for that. Without those idiot men in our lives, we’d never be where we are today—with a successful business and blissfully in love all over again.
