it’s hard for me to go anywhere these days without seeing your face popping up. not a bad thing at all, especially considering how nice it is to see a talent get some instance recognition and love. how’re you taking everything in? has it hit fully for you? @storriescon

It's funny because a lot of people say that, and I still can't help but want to say I'm sorry because I feel bad my face is popping up everywhere for you to see it so much. But god, it's been surreal, and some days I'm still the guy that was waiting tables about to get fired. Because in reality, it wasn't that long ago. So yeah, some days I'd say it hasn't hit me fully yet, and I don't want it to, because I want to stay humble. But some days I'm like holy fuck, is this my life now? Because, yeah, old me would never believe that I would be having a casual conversation with the Ariana Grande.

Is it shameful for me to admit I had no idea Heated Rivalry was a book? Usually, I pride myself on knowing these things, but I was so far out of the loop, I didn't even know the loop existed. Like the rest of the world, I watched the show and was hooked almost immediately, but it was only last week I mentioned it in passing and a friend told me there was actually a novel. Crazy to learn when you thought you knew everything. Anyway, my darling, how are you adapting to the sudden surge of fame? Are you handling it well? @storriescon

Don't feel so bad; I think a lot of people didn't realize it was a book, and honestly, I've heard a lot of people say they've enjoyed the show more than they've enjoyed the book. Though I've read the books, and I will say they're very good in my opinion, and this is said from someone who doesn't read very much. The Long Game, which is the second book and what the second season will be after, is the best book, though, if you ask me. I'm adapting so-so to the sudden fame, I believe. Some days it's very crazy to me, and I feel like that boy that was waiting tables only a few months ago, you know? I mean, I was on the verge of looking for a new waiter job, and now I'm everywhere it seems, and I think someone needs to pinch me hard. I think I'm handling it well though; my husband tells me I'm the most humble person he knows, so I guess I'm not letting it go to my head? But now I'm patiently waiting for you and me to work together, I hope you know, because you're one of my favorite actresses ever. So, let's try and manifest that, okay?

I know it's been a while and so much has happened between this and our last talk and just wanted to see how you're doing as my social media feeds used to be all about you and your husband but now you're nowhere to be found. Which isn't such a bad thing as I bet it's nice to just walk around on the streets, wherever you are, and not having people post your whereabouts everywhere. Did you finish filming for that A24 movie? Because it'll be exciting seeing you in something else and not just associate you with hockey. Also, great ad for Verizon. Got to put your best assets in the game. @storriescon

It has been a while, and I'll admit that I've been trying to distance myself from the fans because they've been a little too parasocial for my liking. So I've mastered the art of hiding, unless I'm told that I need to be out in the public eye. Plus, when meeting some fans, I've managed to charm them enough they've forgotten to ask for pictures, so that helps too. I did finish Peaked, and right after I went to Cabo to film an ad campaign for a luxury brand I'm not allowed to talk about just yet. I'm excited about Peaked coming out though; I got to work with so many brilliant ladies. And haha, thank you; I'm really glad people loved the Verizon ad. I loved doing it. Now I'm just trying to get some downtime so I can go be with my husband for a while; I keep promising him I'm coming to be with him, and then something new pops up. So it sucks. What have you been up to, though, man? What kind of trouble are you getting into?

i am back in la soon and i cannot wait for this to happen. catch us recreating the whole movie. if we embarrass those we love, then we are only doing it right.

I tell you what, I've been in Cabo for the last couple of days, and I pretty much did recreate the whole movie while I was on the beach and had downtime. Pretty sure my whole team was annoyed with me. The only bad part is my husband wasn't there to see me being embarrassing. I should have had them video it, though, so I can send it to you. But we're still making it happen together as soon as we're both in LA together, because we have to do this together.

probably leaving your role top secret because you're the hottest man in hollywood right now. i can't fucking believe we didn't even get a single day together. also can't believe you're in cabo without me right now; that's the biggest crime here. any idea how long you're staying there for? send me all the pictures of your place in cabo so i can sit here in jealousy, please and thank you. i mean, you could be half-naked in toronto if you really wanted to be, but i wouldn't say it's that warm here just yet. it's like ... warm enough that you don't need a winter coat anymore and can get away with just a light jacket. listen, he's just mad that your idea was brilliant and he didn't think of it first. yeah? drooling over the idea already.

Believe me, everywhere I go I'm being hidden. They've had me under towels here in Mexico so no one can see me. It's fucking crazy. I can't believe we didn't get any days together either, and I'm sorry I'm in Cabo without you; you know I wanted you to be here more than anything. I'm at the airport right now and am heading to NYC for a dinner, and then I'll leave for Toronto in the morning, okay? So I should be there to you by noon tomorrow. How jealous were you of the place I was staying at in Cabo? Like seething with jealousy? Alright, so no getting half-naked while I'm in Toronto, got it. I'll make sure I pack a jacket because I know I'll still be cold at some point and I can't walk around having you wrapped around me the whole time, as much as I'd like that. I miss you though, and I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I know you'll probably be working when I land, so I'll just take a car to your hotel and wait for you until you're done. Or I guess I could just have them take me to your set.

did you stick around for the wrap party? saw some photos on molly's insta story and it looked dope as hell. so far, so good, right? unless all that talk about you shooting a commercial in mexico becomes true and work steals you away again. which i will bitch and complain about, despite being proud of you. best marriage i've ever been in! 10/10, really. good, i'm glad they enjoyed it. you ready to head back to toronto with me? it's not cold lately so you might actually have fun this time. golden child, child he never wanted - we've got a nice balance going with him. yeah? me too. we should practice the halloween scene too, with the gladiator fit and no crying.

I was able to go for a little bit, and I'm shocked they've not posted any pictures of me, but I feel like they're playing games with my fans right now. I'm sorry about having to head to Mexico, baby. I wasn't sure it was happening, and then the next thing I knew, I was being told I was needed in Cabo for a few days. I promise, as soon as I'm done here, my ass will be in Toronto. I wish you were here though; Cabo is gorgeous, and the place they put me up in is insane. The budget is crazy on this commercial. It's the best marriage and the only marriage you'll ever be in. So, is Toronto not really cold right now? Because I'm currently half-naked in Mexico, where it's 82 degrees, can I be half-naked in Toronto? Speaking of Jacob, I was told I'm no longer allowed to call him after midnight with season two suggestions. Which I think is rude of him. Oh, the Halloween scene? I'm sure I can get my hands on the gladiator fit in question to make that happen, with no tears.
