In a modern love story emerging from New York, NY, self-proclaimed “best friends” Hannah Reed and Letitia Gunwald have recently tried and failed to schedule a hangout on two separate occasions. They’re now left with only one option: They must cut their losses and agree to catch up at their respective weddings.
“I wanted to see Letitia sooner, for sure,” Hannah told reporters gathered at the scene. “I reached out first, offering to catch a movie on her side of town if that made things easier, but she was only free on Sunday or last weekend. That didn’t work for me, because I had an out-of-town conference.”
Sources confirm the girls agreed to check back in with each other when Hannah returned from her conference, but this additional time didn’t make the scheduling situation any simpler.
“I texted as soon as she got back,” Letitia said. “But she was already booked out for the next two weekends, and I tend to work late on the weekdays – trying to prove to the ‘ol boss that he should pay me a living wage, you know?”
After this second attempt at scheduling a hang, it became clear nothing would be changing any time soon and that perhaps neither of the girls were in a particularly good headspace to be hanging out now anyways.
“I just think the perfect time to catch up will probably be when we’re both a lot calmer, decide to get married, and inevitably invite our friends to a weekend upstate,” Hannah continued. “We’ll have plenty of time to hang out then, so there’s no need to rush it now!
Both girls regrettably agree that they’ll probably be busy for at least the next four or five years.
“Sure, I’m busy now, but I’m sure once I turn 30 or so, I’ll probably be able to set all this work aside for a glorious two-day destination weekend,” Letitia added. “I mean, yes, I’ll be answering my work email then, too, but I’ll probably be able to squeeze Hannah in for a quick, 15-minute coffee chat. Or at least a 20-minute zoom.”
As of press time, both girls had agreed over text that they would circle back “re: scheduling a hang” in 2028. Experts predict that by that time, they will be fundamentally different people with little to nothing in common.
