Jo can't help but smile as she steps out of the shower, seeing the notification waiting on her phone screen. Wrapping a towel around herself she picks up the device and taps into the message thread.
Michael Clifford
Did you survive
the first week of
practice?
Barely. But it was
amazing. I love the
new coaching staff
and I'm really excited
for the potential our
team has this season.
How was the first
week of tour?
I missed being on stage!
I knew I did, but being
back out there
performing for our fans,
it's unreal. I hope I
never have to go nearly
three years without it
again.
I haven't been to a
concert in so long. I
need to make that
happen this year.
You're welcome to
crash one of my
concerts. I'd make
sure you got the VIP
treatment
That's a big promise
for someone you met
only a week ago, and
have only talked to
through DMs
Excuse you, we met
nine days ago and
our first conversation
was in person.
Okay, we're going to
be petty about it...
Na, just giving you
shit. Did you say you
had today off from
practice?
Ya, it's a rest day, but
Jackie set up lunch
with our parents, so
I've got that. I haven't
seen mom or dad
since I got home from
Turkey last week.
I haven't seen my
parents since early
2020...
Oh my gosh! Im so
sorry, I probably
sounded so insensitive
there. I didn't mean to
do that to you, Michael.
I'm so so sorry
No, it's fine. It's not like
it's your fault, or mine,
or theirs. Just Covid
and Australia has been
extremely strict with
travel and such. If I'd
gone home I may not
have been able to come
back. And my career and
band would have
suffered for that one.
I'm still sorry. I haven't
seen my parents in a
few months, you
haven't seen yours in
years. So I'll keep my
whining to myself
from now on.
You're really fine, Jo. I
promise. I'll get to see
them in a few months,
and I'm really excited
about it.
I hope it's the best
reunion when you
do
It will be. What are
you doing right
now?
Um, standing in my
bathroom in a towel
messaging you. You
messaged while I
was in the shower
and I haven't moved
since getting out.
Wow, trying to paint
me a picture? 😏
Omg. I lied. I'm actually
just laying in bed with
morning breath and
ratty hair wearing the
biggest ugliest
sweatshirt ever
