Teaser Tuesday: Ivy & Nico

Tuesdays are for teasers. Each week I post aesthetically pleasing quotes from Holland, Ivy, or Hannah. Today is a quote from When Ivy Met Adam from Ivy’s point of view.

Prologue

late last summer

Nico: Want to see the new Spider-man?

It’s a welcome invitation given it’s only 6:24 a.m. and my high-rise apartment’s noisy air conditioner cannot keep up with the blistering LA heat. I like to pretend that the deep orange color of the air outside is the sunrise and not the smog about to spontaneously combust because it’s 100+ degrees already.

Don’t get your hopes up: Nico is not the hero of this story, my friends. Nico is my movie buddy. Actually, he’s my closest friend (maybe the closest thing I have to a friend?) and my movie buddy. We are the only two in our friend group who consistently want to see every new Marvel movie when it first comes out. His wife Nellie is a saint (and charming, gorgeous, funny—his soulmate in every way) because she kicks him out of the house regularly with marching orders to “go play with your friend.” That’s me. I’m his friend. They are perfect for each other and I am lucky to have them both in my life.

IVY: Air conditioning, web slinging AND your company? Heck yes!
