“Whoa. Nice wall art. It’s like a shrine or something. Not creepy at all,” Drew said, checking out Penelope’s wall of dog photos and laughing. “This series is hilarious. Their eyes are bugging out of their heads in all these costumes.” Drew stopped scanning the photos to focus on one with William wearing a white shirt with a Canadian flag, his long ears tied up loosely over his head to look like a mound of curly hair while Harry wore a coat equipped with a paintbrush, palette and a tiny stuffed animal attached at the shoulder. “What are they supposed to be in this one? What does that shirt say — ‘Marathon of Hope’? And why is the other dog carrying a stuffed monkey with ‘Woo’ on it?”

“Taking photos of family members isn’t creepy, Drew, it’s called love. It makes me sad that I have to explain that to you,” Penelope said as she turned on two large computer monitors. “And besides, they like getting dressed up. Mum works in the film industry doing makeup and costumes. She made all the outfits next to the picture you’re looking at. William is dressed as Terry Fox and Harry is Emily Carr. Come on, Drew. Duh!”

“Yeah, but, like, I can’t even tell what color your walls are. There isn’t one inch that isn’t covered with a picture. As far as interior design goes, I think I prefer a clean, uncluttered aesthetic, like Ben’s place. It’s super sleek, modern and cool. In the room with the lap pool, the walls are just floor-to-ceiling glass so you can see the car collection. Ferraris, Lambos, Bugattis. It’s amazing. And I dunno, your dogs look pretty miserable dressed up as…okay, who are they in this one?” He leaned in to get a closer look at a photo of William sporting a straw hat and a blue dress. Two long red braids extended down from the hat and a tiny, cracked chalkboard slate with the letter “E” written on it peeked out from a dress pocket. Harry wore a long red cloak and a white bonnet with the word “Ofpen” printed neatly on the rim. Before Penelope could respond, Drew’s face brightened with a smile of recognition. “Ooooh! Handmaid’s Tale and Anne with an ‘E’ of Green Gables!”

“Praise be, Drew. But that shows how much you know about dogs. Which is to say, you know nothing, Drew McConnell. They aren’t sad there. Check out the top left corner. The bath pictures. That is misery.”

“Oooh. Yeah,” he responded with empathy.

“Stop being so nosy and come over here. You’re supposed to be helping.”

“I am! I brought you my stuff from the Challenge.”

“One seven minute video and five pictures from the first night? That’s it? And what is Wesley doing in these photos?”

“Huh? Oh, that. Wes must have been a little pissed with Ben. His phone was dead, but Ben wouldn’t let Wes use his, so I let him use mine.”

Penelope scrolled through the images that Wesley had captured. They were selfies with Ben sleeping in the background and Wesley hovering in the foreground.
