*Begin Message*

Jonas Blackwood: Hey, Iris. I thought I'd check in with you. As you can see, I'm on the ship. And that is space. It's breathtaking, isn't it? It's really strange not to have you with me. But things are going good. I'm less than seventy-two hours away from Amoria, and I'm hopeful for my meetings and that they'll go rather quickly so I can get back; I'm kind of, sort of worried about the country with my brother in charge. It's not as if he didn't try taking over my position last time I left him in control. But you'll keep him in line. I know you will. How are you though? He's not driving you too crazy?

Leorus Moretti: Set it down here.

Jonas Blackwood: What is this? Oh. Oh no. You didn't. Iris, I have to go.

*End of Message*

Sorry for the super short chapter. I had an interview this week that was four hours away, so lots of driving and not much time for writing. But question: do you think Iris is going to get Jonas' message? And if she doesn't, what will happen when Jonas realizes that?

I need some advice, not writing related though. I'm rushing for a sorority in about a week, and I was wondering if any of you who have rushed in college have any tips? As well as how you balanced being in a sorority along with life.
