“She called my manuscript ‘infuriatingly #vapid.’ Isn’t that great?”

“France.”
“Portugal.”
“France.”
“Portugal.”
“France!”
“Portugal!”
“I can’t take this anymore!”
The couple go quiet. At this rate they’ll never manage to book a #vacation they can agree on.

“How?”
“Literally.”
“Ah… Spain!”#vss365
