"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

"Girl, I am joining you, no doubt. We'll sing so much that they'll be begging us to leave."

"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

"I can honestly say that the answer to both those questions is 'no', I just don't like being rejected."

"Everleigh, how long have you known me for? When the fuck have I ever relaxed?"

"Well maybe it's time you actually do relax." She suggested to him with a laugh. "You won't come off like an imposter Batman."

"Alright, please tell me you have something interesting going on in your life, because I don't and I need to live vicariously through someone." She laughed. @rededgerpstarterblog

"Uh, would you judge me if I told you I didn't?" She asked with a laugh. "I really don't have a life, Mariana, you should know this."

"There is something seriously wrong about whatever the fuck just happened there." Jax said with a laugh as he watched a guy get rejected for a proposal. "Oh fucking well, better him than me." @rededgerpstarterblog

"Hey, maybe he'll learn not to do that." She shrugged and looked at Jax. "I doubt you'd ask your person in front of a crowd of strangers to be your wife, right?"

Ivy relaxed as the man rowed the boat while her friend and her sat and watched the scenery. Ivy pulled out her book smiling, before looking over to speak to her friend. " This is beautiful. I mean very romantic in a way, but I just enjoy the peace and good scenery. Thank you for coming though," she said as she opened her book. @rededgerpstarterblog

"Renting this boat was amazing idea." Illiana said with a smile and looked at the person who had agreed to get a rental boat for the day. "I wish the water back home was this blue, it feels like a dream." @rededgerpstarterblog

Everleigh smiled and looked at Illiana. "I do too, but I am so damn glad we're here, like it's just nice to be in Italy."

Emersyn laughed softly, nodding. “Once a month feels reasonable,” she said. “At that point it is not paranoia, it is just being observant.” She glanced at Everleigh with a playful smile before her tone softened.

"See, this is why I love talking to you. You always just know what to say and when to say it. I felt like I was going to crash out because of how far behind in life I felt." She looked at Emersyn and smiled at her. "Though tell me, how are you? Now that Bridgerton is back on Netflix, are you getting requests for the hairstyles on the show?"

"Hey, what's up?" Declan asked the friend who had come into his house. He had been watching TV and just been having a lazy day. He put his hat on backwards and looked at the person. "Need me to kick someone's ass?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"No Declan I don't need you to kick anyone's ass." Everleigh looked at Declan. "You need to take your hero cape off and just relax for like five seconds."

"I was also extremely intoxicated when that happened." Beau looked at Everleigh and laughed. "Thanks, me too. I would be a horrible pro surfer if I couldn't handle the water."

"Yeah, please don't ever fucking do that again." Everleigh looked at Beau. "It was a horrible time for me." She said. "I'm glad you can handle it though."

"That's true." Nash laughed. "I've been really good, too. Keeping busy but I'm grateful. How's work been?"

"Keeping busy in a good way or like a James Bond secret type of way?" Everleigh joked with a smile. "Work has been good. I love teaching so much."

"Constantly being on go mode is so damn draining." Kennedy looked at Everleigh. "I think the holidays would be less stressed if we all just stopped for a few minutes during that time and just breathed."

"Yeah, they very much would, but we both know that'll never happen." Everleigh looked at Kennedy. "We're all stuck in this weird ass cycle."

Emersyn laughed softly, shaking her head. “Mothman Tik Tok is a slippery slope,” she said. “Once you are there, your entire algorithm is haunted.” She glanced over at Everleigh with an amused smile as they walked.

"Honestly, like once a month, I'm convinced my house is haunted." Everleigh admitted with a laugh. "Ugh you have no idea how much I needed to hear that, Emersyn." She admitted and looked at the blonde. "Life is so full of pressure for no damn reason and I hate it."
