The men lost.

Who’d have guessed?

Truth be told, we didn’t just lose… we reinvented the entire game… then fucked up that version too.

The four of us, blinded, with Sawyer as our Captain… Whitley’s had better ideas.

The space formerly known as “The Kendrick’s Living Room” shall now be dubbed… “All That Remained.”

“This is why blindfolds belong in the bedroom! Right, Shorty?” Sawyer tries for salvation, looking around at his handiwork.

“Sweetie, how about you save up all thoughts inside your head and wow me with them on the way home?” Poor, saint-of-a-woman Emmett pleads, disguised in a loving tone, with him. “And while you’re thinking, maybe work a little faster to help clean up your… uh… this mess?”

“Laney, Dane, I’m so sorry. I had no idea things would get so out of hand. I’ll be more than happy to pay for replacements of… um… you know what, just make me a list once you have the tally.” Whitley’s pale and glossy-eyed, ready to burst into tears at any moment.

“Thank you, Whit, very nice of you to offer, but completely unnecessary. It’s just stuff, most of which we probably didn’t need in the first place. And take a gander at our mascot, crawling around on his hands and knees, picking stuff up, shins bleeding through his jeans. Savor the sight, folks. Can’t put a price tag on that.”

“Damn right,” I agree with Dane, high-fiving him. “Come on, let’s fix your sad-ass tree.”

“That one I still don’t understand; even with you involved, honey. How do you not realize you’re wrestling a Christmas tree?” Emmett asks.

“Well, dear, am I allowed to talk out loud now, or should I save this in my head for later too?” Epic… Sawyer Beckett, peering up at her from his “Crouching Pussy, Unhidden Dumbass” pose to pout. “If permitted to speak, my answer is, speed was my winning strategy. Which means, I was pretty much all up in the tree all at once.”

“Uh huh.” Emmett nods, actually appearing to understand—a skill only she, after years of practice, can pull off. “That explains it.”

“Oh yeah,” Evan drawls on a laugh, “clears it right up. Grown man plows through the middle of giant tree… gotta be inertia. Can’t believe we even had to ask.”

“Um, guys…” Whit raises her hand. “Sorry to interrupt, again, but, we’re missing some pieces. Has anyone seen-”

“Sawyer’s carrot-dick-nose? Found it. Just can’t reach it.” Laney points upward… everyone tilting their heads to see…

“For fuck’s sake, Beckett! How did you possibly think you were even warm, pinning the nose on the goddamn ceiling fan! You saw the target, that big picture of a snowman, hanging on the wall, directly in front of you. Ringin’ a bell? So why would you reach for the ceiling?” Dane’s face is blood-red, clue numero uno that he’s just about hit boiling-point. “Better yet, how’d you reach the ceiling?”

Sawyer just shrugs, sadly, but genuinely, clueless. “It’s all a blur, man. Musta flew outta my hand and happen to land there, ‘cause I don’t remember doing any climbing.
