Fine!
Easy. Not a problem.

You... have... a... boyfriend!
Don't emoji clap at me.
Okay, how 'bout this?
To celebrate our new singlehood,
I will throw you a divorce party tonight. No Boone.
Yes! And I can invite my work fam.
Maybe once they know I'm a cool-ass divorcée
like ScarJo or Nicole Brown Simpson,
Jeff and Tara will want to be friends with me.
Perfect.
