Are you okay?
Listen, if you're uncomfortable with
this...
We can stop now, before it goes too far.
I don't want you upset, Arden.

i'm fine. just not used to this.
i was never in articles like that until
now & it's just a lot to take in all at
once.
i've never done a publicity thing like this
before & have had millions of people
actually paying attention to me &
caring about my love life until now.
like i said, it's just a lot.

We can quit.
I don't need this, nor do you.
There's other ways of doing publicity.
This was just one of the many & seemed to
be the most effective for what we want.

no no, it's fine.
i just feel clueless as to what we have to
do to make this seem real enough for
media to buy it for so long.

Well, typically management works out
deals with some magazines to come do
paparazzi shoots of us leaving somewhere
together and then reporting it the next day.
As for us, we just have to hold hands & be
close a lot.
Freewill is powerful & we can use it
how we want in this situation.
Just have to look good & in love for the
cameras, you know?

lord jesus.
ok.
damn.

Are you okay with that?

i guess?
i'm more of just flabbergasted from what is
required of us to make this thing work.
then again, my last boyfriend was a high
school friend who didn't grow up to
become an actress like me. so, you know.
no pressure.

What is he studying to be?

an anthropologist.
i was considering doing that, too, with him.
before the whole marvel thing happened.
i was going to go to college, study
something either in psychology,
anthropology, or education.
but, now, here i am.
funny how life works, huh?

I guess.
But, hey, you're here now and you have
us and everything is gonna be great, okay?
We won't let you down, Aardvark 😊

thanks, chrissy
see u

Yeah...
See you.
