the charmer

Leah: Wow. You're really out there jealous of your dog. Tell Rina to bark twice if she needs help. 😂

Leah: I'm glad you're happy.

Leah: Yeah, Beetlejuice. And will do! I was so happy to wake up to a different view this morning.

Jackie: You are so not fair! I am not! 😂 If anything I admire it! If anything it is such an amusing sight to watch. How could people just just love an adorable pet?

Jackie: Thank you, that means a lot to hear.

Braxton: Well with any luck she'll be famous among flight attendants at the very least!

Braxton: LA has amazing beaches to run on, so you shouldn't have that hard of a time with it. That's really nice of you! I have one in my garage though, I just need to put air in the tires I think, hopefully that's all it needs anyway. I'd love to know about those trails though, somehow I don't think biking on the beach would work as well as running does.

Braxton: Well if her attitude towards it is anything like yours I'm sure she did.

Jackie: That will do wonders for her adorable puppy ego!

Jackie: I can barely handle how many great beaches there are. Even if I grew up by a beach the ones in California will never fail to amaze me. No problem at all! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! There is something so great about getting to work out and enjoy a great view too. Let me send you the directions for them. I even know great hiking ones too if you're interested in those! I swear I know Sanders like the back of my hand.

Jordyn: It was nice getting to spend some time together, it had been too long since we spent more than a few days together just because of visiting.

Jordyn: That's awesome! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Jordyn: I've never really been on stage without dancing though, not in front of a crowd like this anyway. What if the only reason I'm good on stage is because of my dancing? I didn't know you did that, what kind of gala was it? I hope so, I mean, I love your place in sanders but I miss the city and I miss the stage.

Jordyn: Okay good, that makes me feel a lot better, I swear even during my time on mean girls if we didn't face time I didn't do as well.

Jackie: It really was, I loved it. It was so nice being able to always having you around. Being able to pester you at any hour instead of having to call you or text you.

Jackie: Thank you so much! You always bring me good luck.

Jackie: You are talented, Jordyn. Being able to have a stage presence is amazing, you could do anything on it and people would love it. They will see how much you enjoy it and that is the important thing. I did It was a charity gala for my school and another one almost like the one you're going to. A dance troupe I was a part of in college performed and the other one I went to I was invited as a date.

Chloe: Just know when it’s winter I’m visiting! You’ll get sick of me after a week!

Chloe: I miss you so so much! I’m fantastic! I have a big beach day planned tomorrow and a steamy date with a cutie I met at Blainey’s coffee shop this morning. How are you? Coop?

Jackie: Sick of you? That could never happen! You know that! I might beg you to stick around and explore the dance world here with me.

Chloe: How’s LA?!!

Jackie: It is so great! I still can't get over how beautiful the weather is!

COOPER: “I love seeing you like this,” he admitted. “In my shirt, in my lap, smiling. It’s all good.” Cooper stoke a kiss from Jackie’s lips as her arms wrapped around him. “This is definitely a huge perk. I could get used to this life with the two of us together.”

MILES: Okay so I can't stop watching this girl Lisa's dance covers. Is this normal? How do people move like this? Why am I suddenly in the rabbit hole of KPop videos?

MILES: JACKIE HELP

JACKIE: Okay you need to link me to this! I just love dance videos! It is amazing seeing peoples talents isn't it? There is nothing wrong with getting lost in it, it happens to me all the time.

Braxton: Do you fly often enough that it's reasonable to assume flight attendants talk about her?

Braxton: It really is, the wind picks up at that time too which makes it even better. I haven't ridden a bike in a few years though, maybe I should start again.

Braxton: Oh that makes sense. I bet at the very least she enjoyed spending time with you?

Jackie: I've flown about three times since I've gotten her, so it might be possible! I have a feeling she would love that if it was the case.

Jackie: It's so perfect isn't it? Now I need to try running here in LA. You should! I still have my bike at my place if you really want to give it a try. See if it is something you want to invest in! I even know a few trails apart from the road that goes along the beach.

Jordyn: I kinda wish it did.

Jordyn: That's awesome! What's the meeting for??

Jordyn: I've never won over an audience just by singing though, I don't think I'm /bad/ I just know my strength is dancing, not singing. I think it will be fun though, if anything the city withdrawal I've been dealing with won't be as bad.

Jordyn: Will you be around to face time for a bit before the event starts?

Jackie: I know right? I really did enjoy being able to constantly pester you at all hours of the day 😉

Jackie: Some for a possible agents, dance companies and even some dance studios. I know some of the people from my previous visits and some are new options. I'm hoping to even find some auditions for music videos too.

Jackie: But you are still great on stage. You have great stage presence, even though I could be quite biased. I am sure it will be! I went to a gala in college and it was a lot of fun! Extra bonus that it is in such a great city. And I am sure you will be back to living there soon.

I love science fiction shows. They are actually the best. What are some of your other favorites? I think it’s always good to have a new one ready to go, too so that could be super useful for me! Alright, tell me how you feel about Billy?

They are aren’t they? I can never get enough of them! They are always so interesting. I love Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone the most but I also adored Orphan Black. Billy...my goodness I don’t know! I have so many thoughts, he is such a complex character. I like how on the front he can totally be perceived one way but as the show goes on it shows the cracks. How many more episodes do you have left? I don’t want to spoil anything!

Braxton: I believe it.

Braxton: A bike would make it easier to get there, usually what I'd do is drive there and then run along the shore, especially at sunset when it's not overly hot out, the parking can be annoying though.

Braxton: A better reason? Yeah she was, like I said though I think she's finally understanding that a break is a good thing.

Jackie: She even got some photos taken with her. Before we know it Rina will be famous 😂

Jackie: Running at sunset, that is the perfect time. I love it when it finally cools down a bit. But a bike was wonderful for me! Especially during tourist season because everyone takes up the parking spots.

Jordyn: It's kind of heartbreaking, honestly.

Jordyn: I will. How's LA treating you so far?

Jordyn: I should have it on video, yeah, I know Anthony wants his solo's filmed so I don't see why he wouldn't have this filmed either. I think he would have been better off asking someone who can do better but I'm actually really glad he asked me. I miss the stage and even if it's not dancing it's /something/.

Jackie: If teleportation existed I would come and give the both of you the biggest hugs.

Jackie: It is treating me very well! Taking some time to relax and adjust but I got some meeting set up for next week.

Cooper: Although he was currently texting with his publicist about and interview for later that week, he looked up when he heard Jackie’s voice. His lips curled into a wide smile seeing her in just one of his shirts. Cooper set down the phone and crooked his finger, beckoning her towards him. “This is home, for now anyway. Feels good doesn’t it.”

Elliott: I hear part of the reason there's so many talented people here is a St. James Performing Arts Academy -- would you have anything to do with that, Ms. St. James?

Elliott: I sent along your links to the people I've worked with in LA, by the way. You might not ever hear anything at all from them, but here's hoping it at least helps to get your name out there in the right circles.

Jackie: I may or may not have heard of it 😉 But really though I am so proud of it and so glad my parents started it. I actually got to teach there for a few years out of college. It makes my heart so happy to share the arts with students. Have you gotten to visit the school yet?

Leah: It is a great feeling.

Leah: I hate to break it to you, Jacks, but dogs can out-charm anyone.

Leah: Tony wants to see a Broadway show, so we're doing that. But otherwise, it's mostly chill.

Jackie: Hey...I knew that was a fact but I didn't need to be reminded! 😂 It's fine though, all my charm is focused on one person now.
