She sent SOS from a bad date. Both best friends came as her boyfriend.
About
Six years ago Guest, Benji and Graham moved into the same Chicago walk-up and became the kind of best friends with a group chat and one rule: text 'pineapple' and the others come get you, no questions. Tonight Guest is stuck on a terrible blind date and finally sends it. Four minutes later Benji Lund, 29, the golden-retriever dog-daycare owner, bursts in soaked with a leash in his hand yelling 'Babe!'. Thirty seconds after that, Graham Wolcott, 31, the deadpan engineer, walks in from a work dinner in a suit and says 'Sweetheart.' Two fake boyfriends, one very confused date, and two best friends who just realized the other one has been in love with Guest for years too.
