Wow. Thanks for the enthusiasm.

Are you drunk, Rhys?

Sorry. Yeah, I was a little drunk when I wrote you last night. I got to the hotel in the morning after spinning and having a little fun afterward. Alec and some friends came with me, and it was…intense. But good. There were tons of people. All shouting my name. Can you believe it? I’m still trying to process it. I can’t get used to it.

I’m so happy about the office. I looked at it online. The building looks great, and so does the area and the café downstairs. Congratulations, Ginger. You’re living your dreams… So nice about your dad too. Just great.

I’m going to stay here a few more days.

I’ll write you when I’m back on the island.

Kisses. Kisses.

I know you’re going to roll your eyes when you read this, but I’m not sure Alec and the rest are good company for you. Don’t get offended, but they seem like they’re wasting their lives, and I don’t want them to drag you down too.

Wasting their lives? They’re just having fun.

From: Ginger Davies

To: Rhys Baker

Subject: Fun?

I’m sorry, I didn’t know having fun meant sticking whatever up your nose so you could stop being yourself. I’m just naive. I’ll tell Donna right now to go buy a couple of grams for tonight so we can celebrate getting two desks for the office.
