Dear Rory,
I'm sorry about what I said.
I'm leaving for LA in two days.
Can we talk before then, please?
We can just drive around as usual.
I don't know how to do this if
you're upset with me.
Call me please. I'm staying at my
parents' house...
guys, in Joe's defence from the last chapter, idk if he ever did anything besides being a brick wall as interesting/ interested in her as a mouldy bland cracker (im just quoting you're losing me) but i needed a plot okay !! i dont hate joe / dont hate on the guy he's just another dude. anyway! focus on Raylor. Love yall!!! <3

The next postcard I receive is addressed to my apartment in Manhattan. It's not Nana who sends it back to me. Taylor has mailed it directly to me.
In fact there are three postcards in an envelope from the first three cities she stopped at on her tour, and in the following weeks, the rest keep coming like clockwork, the same way they did when she was promoting her first album all those years ago.
It's a little weird, considering Taylor's texts recently have been really curt. The pictures of her cats have been coming less frequently. Even the dad jokes have dropped to one a day at most.
I don't know how to reassure her that what happened the other night at my place doesn't have to change anything. But the truth is, we both know it did change something. I'm not sure how much longer we can both ignore the fact that it doesn't matter how much time passes or how much we try to contain it. There's always going to be that crazy magnetic pull between us. We both know it's there. It's always been there. It's just a matter of whether we're both willing to let go and let it happen.
I don't want to admit it though. I don't see how we would be able to survive all the shrapnel this time when it blows up. We barely survived it last time.

Dear Rory, Hi from Glendale! These are a little nostalgic, aren't they? But since we're on talking terms again, I thought maybe we could start sending each other postcards again. I always thought it was special that we did, don't you think? Thank you for coming to the show last night. It means a great deal to me. Love, Taylor

Dear Rory, Hi from Vegas! I know I haven't mailed the first postcard yet but here we are. These past 2 nights have been INSANE! I'm so so glad I'm back on tour! When I'm up there, it's like, my whole life just pauses for a second and it's just me, the fans, and the music. I love it. Love, Taylor
