Gigi: Hi, baby. Gigi: Can't stop thinking about how good you looked as the joker. maybe that should be your next role. i support it 100%. Gigi: And Khai has requested it, too. You've made the joker her new favorite villain.

Benito: If that was the wildest night of your life then we need to make sure you have more nights like that! Can you imagine having a night like that and not having video or photo proof of it? Benito: I'm so glad that you were able to feel it even if you just got to hang out with us for a day. We'll get you that flan, promise. I'll even make sure you get some for the holidays. Thank you, hermano. That means a lot coming from you. The balance of it is hard to come by from time to time, but I'm just grateful for my family for helping me through it. And, I'll make sure to tell them you said thank you, no worries. Benito: Taking her to the Hamptons sounds like a great idea. You could always rent out a home and make it super cozy. Cook her a good dinner and stock up on food to make home cooked meals together. It's the thought that counts and you get to spend time together. A perfect balance. Benito: My go-to move for a perfect night? It really just depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll take my lady out and we'll have a night dinner and then go back home. Or simply stay in and order take up while finding something to do indoors.

Austin: So, you're telling me that you will take me to more of your concerts and feed me mystery edibles? i'm game 🤣 Austin: It just means that they should have me over more often. Hey, don’t even joke about the flan, I’ll be counting down to the holidays for that. You’re lucky to have them keeping you grounded like that, though. I feel like that’s what keeps you centered even with everything going on. It's the same with me and my family. Austin: You’re right, the cozy route in The Hamptons might just be the move. A little escape, just the two of us. Cooking together sounds perfect actually, she’ll probably roast me for how long it takes me to chop vegetables, but it’ll be worth it. Austin: You’ve got the right idea. I think that’s what people forget, it’s not about the setup, it’s the vibe. You can go all out or just stay in, and either can hit the same way if the energy’s right.

Dove: honestly so silly goofy of you. but i'll forgive it. i can't wait to give you another roasting, honestly. Dove: you are? damn. i'm going to miss bothering you all the time since you'll be living in a different city. maybe i'll just need to keep facetiming you. but i'm so happy for you, truly. if you need help decorating - don't ask me. i have the worst decor skills. i mean, i have a swing in the middle of my living room, so. yeah - i'd be terrible for advice. dove: sorry, bud. i couldn't resist with that one. it was too funny to not give you that info. yeah, well, renee has been on tour so she can't exactly come and visit me - so i go to her. although with rachel, it's not so much at the moment. kind of miss her touch. even if i'm plenty satisfied with renee. does that make me a terrible person? dove: sorry u get my venting xoxo

Austin: You’re the only person I know who can call me “silly goofy” and still make it sound like a compliment. Austin: Yeah, it’s all starting to feel real now. I’m excited, but I’ll definitely miss the constant chaos you bring to my day. Facetimes are non-negotiable, though, you don’t get to disappear just because I’m switching zip codes. And for the record, I think a swing in your living room sounds like a pretty good decor. Forget Pinterest, you’re setting trends... unless it's a sex swing, if it is, don't give me details. Austin: hey, that doesn’t make you a terrible person. It just makes you human. Missing someone’s touch doesn’t cancel out what you’ve got with someone else, it just means you’re still figuring things out. That’s normal. And you don't have to figure things out right away, there's no ticking time bomb, you know. Do things at your own time. Austin: And you can vent to me anytime, no apology required.

Dua: did you just say 'official canon'. what are you, some kind of fan girl? bc what the fuck? i'm sure that you two will get back to being friends - i mean, we have and we were a lot more than friends. of course, only another month of shows to go once we start back up. it's called having stamina, maybe you need to learn to get some. i roast you about many things so lets just add this one to the list, yeah? whenever you're ready for us to remeet then i'm game. just make sure to give gigi a heads up on who you're bringing to the table when that happens - otherwise i'll be watching you get your head bit off, probably.

Austin: I did say that, yeah, trying to use your girl lingo to get my point across. I don't know, he was really in love with you and I began pursing you behind his back. Not my finest moment, and I don't know if he can ever get past that. Shut up, I have plenty of stamina. You can ask Gigi. Adding another thing to the roast list, huh? At this point I should probably just hand you a notebook and let you keep a running record. And don’t worry, I’ll give Gigi the heads-up. Last thing I need is you sitting back with popcorn while I get chewed out for surprise-reuniting you two.

I think that is true. I think I did. As for mastering the art of organised chaos, I am sure I have. I will use that if someone asks me how I managed. I will just say that I have mastered the art of it.

Listen, definitely should, it sounds way more impressive than just saying you managed. You could put that on a resume and people would believe it’s an actual qualification.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It would apply to pretty much everything. I do? I guess I probably have lived by that and not once realised that I was.

Guess that’s how it goes sometimes, you only realize you’ve been following a rule once someone points it out. Maybe that’s the best way to do it, though. Live first, think later. Makes life a little less complicated that way.

Austin: Prepared to be sick of you? Never gonna happen. It’s gonna be weird, in the best way, to know you’re just a few blocks away. Thursday can’t come soon enough. Fair point. We’ll merge collections, keep it diplomatic. But you know me, I’ll cave the second she gives me that look. I’ll handle the bed and the little things, but we both know she’s walking out of that store with more plush animals than any kid needs. I can already hear you saying ‘I told you so.’ Austin: They’re gonna love it, baby. You looked unreal, G. It’s one thing seeing the photos, but knowing how hard you worked for them? Makes it even better. Frustrated? nope, not anymore 😉 See, I don't buy that. I think you'd be better than you think.

Austin: We're going to be in the same zipcode at last. The realtor hasn't confirmed the day, but tentatively, it'll be on Thursday. Can I steal you away so you can come with me? Maybe I should take her shopping so she can choose all the toys that she wants. I know you won't approve of this idea, but come on, it can be a one time thing. Austin: I did actually 😍🔥 I was going to comment on it during our Facetime call, that way I would see those gorgeous eyes. I loved it, I don't have the words. I'll send it to the Dune group chat so I can brag about my girlfriend. Have you thought about giving acting a try?
