Good morning sunshine!

Text me back as soon as you're up.

Morning Tree!

You're up! Great

First of all, congratulations!!!

... on what?

Second of all, how do you wanna go about this?

about what??

have you not been on social media yet?

uhhhh no, not really

should i?

Okay, maybe not!

Shit, people are talking arent they?

There were pictures

Okay, but we weren't even that obvious! We were careful

Someone caught a blurry picture of you two 'smooching'... as the tabloids have put it

Wait what?

shit

Listen, it's not even clear, and barely credible so it'll probably die out pretty soon. We can just ignore this and go about our business as usual, unless you want people to know, then that's up to you. But either way, I think just ignoring this is our best option

Yeah, I agree

what's going on online?

I'm handling it. Don't worry. It's manageable. There's no real damage I think

No but I mean

is it like... *before*?

I don't think so! Look, as far as everyone's concerned right now, the two of you are just close friends hanging out. We'll keep it that way, control all other narratives circling online, and you'll be free to smooch all you want in private

Right

Yeah sounds good! Thanks Tree!

just keep me updated on things? I don't think I'm gonna be going online these next few days

Smart decision! And will do!

How's August doing?

She's still asleep, I think. I'm getting coffee

Alright, well

take care, T! And I'm happy for you! She seems like one of the good ones

Thanks, Tree! 💗
