CONNOR: It’s definitely not boring.

CONNOR: You had a good week? The aura was strong in the pics on your post.

EDEN: Yeah, I ran a bunch of captain practices. They went fine.

CONNOR: Just fine?

EDEN: I mean, I made the post look all fired up because that’s what captains do . But I’m nervous. My last year to win the College Cup, and I’m not sure we have all the pieces in place.

CONNOR: I hear you. More pressure on you, huh?

EDEN: You’re getting the picture. Pressure is my middle name.

CONNOR: Do you like that?

EDEN: On the field, in a big moment, yep. It’s fuel.

EDEN: Off the field, it can be exhausting always being “on” for everyone else.

CONNOR: I get that. You’re like my sister Grace that way.

CONNOR: You’ll be shocked to hear IDGAF about being “on” for others, though.

EDEN:

EDEN: For me, as captain, it’s part of being a leader. So I shouldn’t complain.

EDEN: ANYWAY, I hope you have a great dinner. Jealous.

CONNOR: Thanks

CONNOR: Talk soon.

EDEN: Sooner than July 4.

CONNOR: Yup.

A WEEK LATER

CONNOR: Happy Saturday.

EDEN: Hi

EDEN: Your second weekend in LA...any plans with famous soccer stars?

CONNOR: Ha no. Just me, myself, and I to entertain.

CONNOR: Been a long week though. Went with Milo to a ton of meetings and spent two days at a commercial shoot with a 5 a.m. start time.

CONNOR: I guess that’s normal for LA though.

EDEN: God, it does sound very fabulous. Very grown up.

CONNOR: Maybe, but it’d be nice to get paid like a grown-up.

EDEN: HAHA. Welp, I had another week of captain practices in not-glamorous Orlando, so you aren’t missing much here.

CONNOR: Trust me, half the time I wish I was there.
