"We're in Japan for a month, so we have to do all the tourist stuff, I don't care how nerdy it may seem, if it's a tourist thing, I am down to do it." @rededgerpstarterblog

"Not doing the tourist stuff, is the new tourist thing." He chuckled. "I'm Donny, by the way. And what even are the tourist things in Japan? Don't say Disneyland."

"You mean to tell me, that after all these years, you still haven't asked your crush out? It's really not that hard, I mean, they aren't married or dead, are they?" @rededgerpstarterblog

“Nahh, my crushes don’t need to lead to something. I can secretly pine for Nadia, have a drink with ya, and still not feel yearning. Plus, i'm having a kid soon, ain't no time for … stuff. Anyway, are you trying to play some motivational match making game?”

"There are days when I really love my job, but today is not one of those days. It fucking sucked today and no, I can't legally elaborate. Hopefully soon I can." @rededgerpstarterblog

“This is concerning… are we talking about lawyer needed type shit? wait don't tell me, i'm about to have a kid, I can't get involved in legal trouble”

"Thank you for joining me for karaoke. I know it's not for everybody, but I appreciate you tagging along." Yasmin says to her friend she invited out. "Do you think you're going to sing too, or just watch?" She asked. @rededgerpstarterblog

“Uh, of course I’m going to sing!! I win at singing, and dancing, and a bunch of other stuff. Just have to decide on what… Is there a song about having a kid, because that's the vibe. do you have your song picked?”

"I feel like this year is just a little bit surreal for me, and I can't explain it at all." She looked at the person she was out with. "Do you feel that way too?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"I know we just spent a whole month in Italy, but I am ready for another vacation. I felt so refreshed while we were away." @rededgestart

"I feel ya. Let's find the mayor because I got some suggestions for the next one."

"And if it's an issue of... privacy." He lingered in thought. "We can go to a doctor outside of Red Edge." It was an option, one he didn't think was necessary, as Donny didn't see any reason in hiding this. However, if it made Mila feel more comfortable... Of course, Donny didn't know that someone was threatening her. That, that's what scared her. "I want to help, so if that means baking, then I guess so." He shrugged lightly. "I can totally make a croissant. I don't know that i'll be up to the standards of Les Delices de Mila Bakery."

"Ugh, this place is beyond amazing." Elena smiled as she spun around to take in as much as she could. "I am honestly going to cry when we have to leave here." She laughed. @rededgerpstarterblog

"It's cute o wateva" Donny agreed with a chuckle. It beautiful and full of history, and easy to fall in love with, after all. "Don't cry cos it's over, smile cos... something." He laughed. "Why do you always gotta bring the cheugy lines outta me."

"I could be doing better, but I could be doing worse." Noah shrugged. "Thank you man, Nyla and I are doing good. She's still so young, she doesn't understand it fully."

"Oh no, I said what do you do? what do you do for work?" Donny clarified with a chuckle before the the waiter came by and they placed their order. "Ah, well that's good. I was, like, three when stuff happened with my dad and they still made me and my brother go to counseling."

" It's the last day of Italy and I just want to sit here and take in everything before we go," Teddy smiled. He sat down outside of a restaurant with his friend at a table, looking around at everything. " What did you enjoy the most here?" he asked before looking back at them.@rededgerpstarterblog

"The nightlife was great. Honestly, fantastic. I also like how old everything. It's got so much history, you know?" He mentioned. "What about you, friend?"

"I fucking love limoncello so hell yes, please share with me." She smiled.

"Ugh, finally someone that likes to drink." He said, opening the bottle. "So, how's 2026 going for you so far, Devin?"

Mila nodded and gave a smiled slightly at his words. She was happy that he was with her along the way and here for anything. Mila reached up to kiss his cheek " Thank you," she said before hugging him.

It felt nice to get lost in the moment. The soft cheek kiss, the warm hug, it reminded him of the best parts of their relationship. Not of their differences, but of the closeness they had. The feeling didn’t last, being brought back to reality as she looked around. At first, he imagined that she didn’t want people to see them this close. The gossip blog did have a habit of blowing things out of proportion. Not that he kept up with it much these days.
