Bonjour, my dearest readers! As you may have guessed, your pal Maisy was very busy today attending San Francisco’s wedding of the year!
Lucy Valdez, fabulous fight trainer to the city’s preeminent superheroine team, wed Rose Rorick, head of the SFPD’s Demon Unit. It was a glorious affair, the cascades of lily-heavy flower arrangements trying valiantly to hide the undeniable grunge of The Gutter—and mostly succeeding!
My lovelies, I truly hate to steal the spotlight from the brides, but I must confess something. I happened upon the most delicious news after the ceremony, and as an upstanding journalist, it is my duty to report it. You see, I noticed that fabulous superheroine Evie Tanaka—the maid of honor and a close, personal friend of mine—was looking a mite peaked. I also noticed she was drinking sparkling cider instead of the customary champagne. And the EVEDA hive knows that Evie and her superheroing partner, Aveda Jupiter, love to imbibe at every possible opportunity—those two never met a mimosa they didn’t like! Once her maid of honor toast was done, our dear Evie turned an absolutely violent shade of puce and made a run for the bathroom. I’ll admit, my reporter senses started tingling as soon as I saw what a voluminous, unflattering frock she’d chosen to wear for maid of honor duties—and now those senses were positively ablaze!
I spied Aveda—another close, personal friend of mine!—going after her, so I did what any good reporter (and friend!) would do and went to see if the dynamic duo was all right. As it turns out, they were having quite the moment and it all seemed rather private, so I stayed outside, ready to offer assistance to my two dear friends. I kept an ear pressed to the rather thin bathroom door, all set to pop in as soon as I was needed.
And that, dear readers, is how I learned the stunning exclusive news I’m about to share with you.
People of San Francisco, are you sitting down?
Evie Tanaka, our beautiful daughter of the city . . . is with child!
I know. I know. I’ll give you a moment to process.
I don’t know much more than that since I wanted to leave my dear friends to their privacy—and your pal Maisy had to make sure she delivered this exclusive scoop to you immediately!
Now I know you’re wondering if I confirmed with Evie face to face. I considered it, as any true journalist would, but the simple fact is this: the news was surely about to break regardless, and I just knew Evie would prefer it if you heard it from a trusted friend, someone who wouldn’t try to cast this blessed development in a scandalous, gossipy light!
So please remember: even if you see this news elsewhere, you saw it here first!
One presumes the father is Nate Jones, Evie’s tall, dark, and broody beloved. Although . . . this news is quite unexpected, and I say that as one of Evie’s oldest friends. Perhaps there’s another twist on the horizon, eh?
