yeah i know i know, and i thank you for it. nothing gets better by just sitting inside the walls of this castle anyways. i do want to make the most of my time here. how often are we in scotland anyways right? i'm all for doing everything and i promise you don't have to drag me out of bed by my ankles. as stupid as we may both be, i don't think either of us were really up for making a scene in public, especially not being stuck on a plane. at this rate, everyone close to us should be sponsored by earplugs. i should start carrying them with me. the less i hear from him, the more i'll shut up too. i love you okay. i know i say that a lot, but i do. maybe? you might succeed in persuading me this time around, who knows. boobs before arms, c'mon. i don't even care that he's your boyfriend. but my boobs win any day.

hear hear. very inspired by your sudden burst of optimism and putting yourself out there and doing things. admit it, you were just scared i'd literally drag you out of bed by your ankles and you'd have to do stuff with me. which i would have. you know me too well and chose the smart route. very proud. but also, dragging you out of bed would've been fun, not gonna lie. think you guys can stick to not making a scene even in private ? earplugs work, but you'd also have to turn your back on him while he's speaking. faces speak volumes even without hearing a thing and knowing you two, this wouldn't end well. maybe get some lawyers to do all the talking for you while you're both wearing earplugs. i love you too okay. cannot believe we're still on stage 'persuading'. thought i've already brought enough to the table to have your room ready by december 1st. boobs win if you move in for the season to escape freezing nyc. fair deal ? we can still take all the trips out there, you know i love me some 5th avenue christmas shopping to gift myself.

Really? I feel like that could be a blessing and a curse all in one. Sometimes its great to remember what happened, while others I'm just like please let me just forget so I don't feel worse. Agreed, I always get a boost of courage when there's liquor involved.

true. personally, i see it more as a blessing because not being able to remember, even if it's a bad thing, would probably bug me longer than just wishing i could forget it ever happened. i'd rather deal with hangxiety than feeling like i've lost complete control over myself. don't we all ? watch us telling those ghosts off and making this our castle once we're a couple of shots in.

how do you attend as many fashion events as you do ? i can never keep up with them. any trends fall flat to me. i wear primarily what my stylist tells me to but i believe you dress on your own ? @hailsfm

it's kind of my job. you're waiting for the director to shout 'action', i'm doing fashion. if we're talking big events, i do have a stylist too. i'll text her what kind of vibe i'm feeling and she comes around with the outfits to choose from. unless a brand wants me to wear something specific for one of their shows or events. other than that, it's just me, yes. that world is like my second home, i'll happily give you a crash course on all things fashion and trends if you want me to.

There's a place that is the most haunted place ever and it does ghost walks, sometimes people have been advised to leave because ghosts fuck with them specifically and they send them home with sage and palo santo and holy water and crystals and the number for a priest if anything goes awry. I don't know they're in there, I can't feel them at all. She is beautiful, she takes after her mama. Hopefully we can take her on lots of adventures as she grows up

like exorcism ? i'm a lover for all things spooky but that sounds like a little too much for me even. and people do this voluntarily, knowing the possible outcome ? crazy. where is this place ? i'm sure you will. this is only the beginning. how is she liking the spooky castle ? do you guys get any sleep at night ?

Prehaps but I think that large group will dwindle down when they realise that I'm quite boring actually. You're a spooky queen then? I love that for you. It's a rather fun season. I admit, I'm sad to see it go. It feels like it's barley started but I know as soon as I get back home, my brother and I will be looking for Christmas decorations. As if that could ever bother me. We can be like Daphne and Velma as we explore the grounds. If there is a ghost around, we'll figure it out. They're likely friendly anyway. No one around here has been attacked so that's a good sign. Yes, I understand where you're coming from. It's not exactly common for stories to be passed down through the years and them to still stick on the same format they were originally told. Well, we're assuming that those stories were made up by women. If these stories were told, it'd likely be by men and they didn't exactly burn at the stake and we all know how dramatic they can be. Although, you have me with the photoshop debate. It wasn't exactly feasible back then. Maybe there is some truth to these tales after all. I say we figure out what's fact from fiction while we're here.

i don't think you could ever be boring, to be honest. i mean, let's put the harry potter stories aside. you studied at oxford, right ? you're an un women ambassador. you seem to be very educated and grounded, pretty sure there's always something to talk about with you. and that's just business wise, sure you have lots of private hobbies. summed up you're the least boring person ever. spooky season is always short and sweet, which is why christmas season has just as much of a special place in my heart as halloween does. i just love all the pretty lights, the coziness, the family coming together, the good food. yeah, i'm in love. sounds like a solid plan. ghosts attacking someone would even scare the shit out of me. facts spoken. do we really think men got this crazy vivid fantasy though to come up with something like this ? i mean, maybe with a couple of beers in their system, yeah. which would make it hard to remember all the details the next day though to pass it down word for word for centuries and not have six different stories for one happening. lets take some notes and get together after the trip to have a little debate on it.

oogly boogly, bitch. getting drunk and rambling in the woods ? very on brand for us. hope you aren't expecting my sense of orientation to be any better because it's so far gone that i've spent a majority of my time walking in circles. they should've handed out maps upon check in. what kind of drink are you favoring these days ?

so, it's basically the blind leading the blind ? also very on brand for us. they couldn't have chosen a better place to have us reunite. still stuck on espresso martinis. very hard to mix in the woods, but also can never say no to a challenge. what's yours ? i'll fill a whole backpack with stuff if you promise we do 50/50 when it comes to carrying that shit.

private: just because it was a sad moment, doesn't necessarly mean it was a bad thing. Yeah, yeah. I get what you mean. You're shocked? I might be a brit, and that's exactly why I prefer a beach over nature, although a beach is also part of nature, but anyways. I have enough of rainy weather in England, I'm happy to run away for a beach in Italy or France, any day, I won't say that hiding in a cabin in the highlands would be a bad experience, specially with the right person as company, but I've been failing to find mine, so I'll stick with the beaches, salty water, and naturally tanned skin, which in my case is more looking like a lobster, but still. Now how was that for rambling. I win. I didn't pitch you that hard! Did I? We both now you are the courageous one from the two of us, how about we go side by side, I'll hide behind you if I get scared. Do you believe in ghosts?

private: you're absolutely right about that. look at us talking like grown-ups. point taken. i clearly forget most times and only hearing your accent reminds me. sorry about that. you still got that property in italy we went to once for a quick little getaway ? or did you sell it ? the right person could make any place feel cozy and nice and like home. i'm sure you'll find them. you've had enough bad luck, you deserve some happiness. you got the voice, i got the naturally tanned skin, it's only fair. you can't have everything. think we'll both just focus on continuing to ramble on until we'll realize hours later we went down the wrong path and are now lost. i'm calling it. i was joking, you're good. no you're not actually, because ten seconds ago you told me you'd protect me with your life and now you wanna hide behind me ? might as well have to pinch you hard. i do believe in them, yes. think this forest has more to offer than just ghosts though. do you believe in them ?

love that. but also can you imagine the logistics of having to deal with a child on a huge sugar high when you're a few tequila shots deep? or even worse, a kid with a sugar high when you're hungover the following day. you didn't expect it? please, you had the whole of tiktok running around getting glazed donut nails. the internet is so wrapped around your little finger, babe.

option b sounds rather terrifying to be honest. we need an option c to make this fun - someone sober on speed dial to take over either route we go down. if we're lucky enough preferably our partner whom we share the child with, since we'd be giving them in trusted hands. can't call our parents, cause they would probably judge us getting drunk off tequila during trick or treating. call it a sixth sense - kind of getting a feel of what people would vibe with. or call it witchcraft. maybe i belong in this castle.

The last time I saw Harrys face was when I was in the band. I think everyones seen it before I have. I'll let you take the win. Mhm - see -that's just not going to happen. I don't scare easily. I think it'd be more beneficial for you to be on my team.

damn i thought y'all had talked it out by now. my bad. still taking the win though, thank you very much. you think you don't scare easily, but gi and i are masterminds. we'll come up with something before the trip is over, i promise. if you think i'd switch teams just because its beneficial for me, you clearly don't know me very well.

it's why i love you the most. i'm doing okay. i think i'm just at a point where i just want to deal with it you know? as much as i love being here.. part of me would rather be back in the states, dealing with this to get it over with. yeah something like that.. we were sat next to each other on the plane over and didn't say a single word to each other, so that's something right? unless you count the snow storms the city can endure. if that happens, pray i've managed to escape to cali before that. it's actually insane. i was contemplating making a fire just so i could throw myself in to it. pretty sure i can't feel my toes no more. maybe my cuddles don't measure up to the ones of your man - but i'll do my best to try.

hey, you gotta make the most of your time here. i'm dragging you to every little activity thats on the agenda. just because you'd rather be back in the us to resolve the issue, doesn't make time fly faster and you can't spend all day being annoying about it sitting in this castle. not sure why you've went from screaming to complete silence, but it's still progress, right ? you guys were like little kids, hard to calm down. i'm enjoying the silence. and once we go home, i'll be right by your side to fix this. do i need to throw the us being roommates idea in here again for nyc winter ? you've got those comfy boobs that immediately help me go to sleep. he's got the strong arms. it's a 50/50 race.

private: looks like i'm going to need to keep this leather jacket close by, if it's my route to being forgiven faster. you were already the hottest nurse i'd ever seen, it was a 10/10 halloween costume. if i'm getting heart palpitations, what are the chances you'd be willing to give me mouth to mouth?? we're both guilty of being over-protective and wanting to stick up for our friends. it's the band dad in me and he's a grown adult and doesn't need me playing defense for him. did she tell you what caused this little pause in the screaming? they had another drunken accident, this time it just involved doing the horizontal mambo. have to say i didn't see it coming but hey, at least there's less fighting now.

private: i'm suddenly regretting letting you know that its my weak spot. good thing i have more than one and can easily let go of the leather jacket when needed. chances are very high. think i'm very good with my mouth. or so i've heard. any chance you can get your roomie wanting to catch some fresh air for.. i was gonna say thirty minutes, but i haven't seen you in days, and me and this costume need some time, so three hours ? there's lots of entertaining shit happening out there that you could surely sell to them with that charming smile of yours. i love how protective you are over you friends, actually. hold on, they what now ? you're kidding, right ? i...yeah no, she didn't tell me.

i really was meaning to come talk to you yesterday but time just got away from me actually, that's not true. i just didn't know what to say or how to start the conversation, since it's been awhile and the last time we spoke wasn't the most pleasant. i heard about the divorce, i'm sorry. genuinely, i'm not trying to be a jackass about it. um, how're you doing, hailey? / @hailsfm

trust me, i get it. appreciate you taking that step and coming to talk to me though, because i wasn't sure if you'd even want to, so i kept my distance. never thought of you as anything less than genuine and polite, but i think it's rather my turn to say sorry. if you wanna hear it. since it's been years and we've both moved on. i wouldn't wanna wake up sleeping ghosts on my account. pun intended considering our whereabouts, can't help it.

I hear stories about people visiting haunted places and ghosts getting attached to them. I'm a very empathic person and I didn't know if that was a vulnerability so I didn't want to take risks. I'm also walking around with bay leaves in my shoes. The last thing I need is a ghost keeping me up at night, as well as the baby, as well as my bad back. Oh she hasn't the foggiest idea what's going on just that she's getting passed around like a hot potato.

attached to them ? as in, people leaving the place and the ghosts following suit ? now that's even something i'd consider to be scary. how comfortable is it walking around with bay leaves ? especially after our little trip to glen coe ? are your feet scratchy ? kind of comes with being the cutest baby on earth. mom and dad's fault. take all the pictures. she's gonna love knowing she went on a spooky adventure even before managing to process everything she sees with those little eyes and understand it.
