It was a PG show not a thirst trap, no shirtless pics. You get what you get, not sorry.
Send me Mabel’s video. I wanna see it. And you, I already miss your face.
And lastly, I can go the rest of my life not knowing who the best thing you’ve ever had in your mouth is. I appreciate the restraint shown, thanks for under-sharing.

First day on the job done. How did it go?
This is perfect timing. I can catch up with everyone before I dive back into work. He’s quickly turned into the friend I never knew I needed and don’t want to do life without.
First day was exhausting, but good. Emotions were high. Which I expected, because I was so nervous. But I never really considered that it might be a roller coaster for everyone else too. Stupid, I know. Do you ever get so wrapped up in worrying about your own life that you forget other people are dealing with their own shit too? I need to do better.
Good Guy
I’m trying to do better with that myself. I think it’s human nature, though. Focus zooms in when things feel out of control, and it zooms out when they’re under control.
So, my selfish assholery will pass when I’m not stressed?
Good Guy
I have a hard time believing you’re capable of assholery, selfish or otherwise.
Note to self: Do NOT introduce Good Guy to Lola, as she’ll spill all my dirty little secrets, including moments of assholery.

Everyone treated you well? More importantly, do you feel safe? I’m not gonna lie, the thought of you in an RV with two people you’ve known for hours kept me up last night. Let’s just say, I know far more about Ben Gatlin now than anyone probably has a right to, even his therapist. If I get hit by a bus, please delete my browser history because it looks sketchy as hell.
He’s not secretly a serial killer, is he? I narrowly missed one at the airport yesterday, and don’t want to find out I jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
Good Guy
A serial dater? Seems likely. A serial killer? 99.9% sure he’s not. And serial killer??? Narrowly missed??? Airport??? Yesterday??? I feel like that should’ve made the post-flight wrap-up chat.

Joking. Mostly. To answer your question, I feel safe. It’s only been one night, but so far sharing an RV with a couple/strangers hasn’t been awkward. Hannah and Ben have the bedroom space at the rear, and I have a bunk over the cab in the front, so there’s separation and privacy. I think it’s going to work out well.

And what about the brothers?
Have you ever met someone and felt comfortable from the start? Like they weren’t judging you and you could just be yourself?
Good Guy
Yes. You.
That makes me smile.
Same. But you’re a unicorn, Good Guy. Lightning doesn’t strike twice. This never happens to me.
Good Guy
Trust issues?
