OMG lovelies! I’ve not even been here for 24 hours and it’s working out better than I could ever have planned.

Realising it was after midnight in the US and she was unlikely to get an answer just yet, Paige went to put the phone down but three little dots appeared.

Astrid

Tell us everyyyyyything!!!!

Ah, okay, Astrid was up.

Paige

That Die Hard info from Bella was golden! I thought he was going to have apoplexy when I told him it was a romance.

Bella’s name appeared on the screen with three little dots. She was up, too?

Bella

So pleased you could use it.

Paige

That’s not even the cherry on top.

Dots next to Sienna’s name also now joined the party.

Sienna

Okay, all the pinging woke me. What? Whaaaaat????

Paige

Sorry, crappy timing, I didn’t think. Too excited not to share. I let the hamster loose in his bedroom last night and it crawled into bed with him. He’s just stormed into my room, grumpy AF.

Bella

Oh I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall for that!

Astrid

What’s the agenda for today?

Paige

Operation kitchen chaos. Seriously, I could take somebody’s appendix out in there! I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like order as well but this is next level. I wouldn’t be surprised if just standing in it makes a person sterile. It has to go…

Bella

He’ll hate that. I love it!

Astrid

Ha! You’ve so got this

Sienna
