Summary
It’s 2016. The gang is in their mid-late 20’s, and it’s been a while since they’ve all been able to get together.
Layla has done her best to keep everyone in her life - she chats with the always-busy Will and Ethan on the phone occasionally, grabs a coffee with Magenta and Zach about once every few weeks, and still meets Warren at The Paper Lantern for dinner more often than the balance in her bank account would prefer. Still, she misses the times when she had everyone in the same room. So, she hatches the perfect plan: their first annual Friendsgiving dinner.
Meanwhile, Warren has been sitting on his feelings for Layla longer than he would like to admit. No other woman compares to her, but she’s been his best friend for years - potentially messing that up by admitting everything is something he’s hesitant to risk. The odds that she feels the same way for him are probably just as slim as the odds of her ever getting back together with Will after the two decided they just weren’t compatible with each other… I.E., close to zero.
But maybe at Friendsgiving - with enough liquid courage - Warren can work up the nerve to finally tell Layla that he’s always wanted to be more than just friends.

Summary
“I think he deserves to sweat about it for a while,” Magenta said, reclining back in her chair. “Maybe if he thinks that another guy is interested in you, he’ll come to his senses and see what’s right in front of him.”
Layla’s head snapped up to look at her shapeshifting friend.
“Magenta, that’s it!”
“What’s it?”
“I’m going to make Will jealous… By pretending to date Warren Peace.”

Summary
“We should go to prom together.”
“I accept if you promise not to step on my feet.”
Warren did the most stupid thing in the world—he offered her his pinky finger, which Layla instantly intertwined with hers.
