Thursday 1ST June

6:23PM

Emersyn: What do I wear?

August: Bug repellent

Emersyn: That is not helpful

August: Just wear what you were wearing earlier

Emersyn: But I wasn't dressed up earlier

August: You looked good to me

Emersyn: Are we going to be staying in one place or walking? Or are we doing anything active or can I wear a skirt? Or are we going to be going in the flowers and will my legs ich?

August: We won't be doing anything that we didn't do before, so remember that summer and remember the way you dressed and remember if you were annoyed by anything then

Emersyn: You are so unhelpful

August: I am being very helpful. I can still cancel you know, and trust me, it's a good date we're about to have

Emersyn: it's a date?

August: Ofc it's a date

Emersyn: Usually when one goes on dates, they are asked formally

August: You wanna go on a date?

Emersyn: No you are being mean

August: Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then?

Emersyn: I am joking please don't cancel

August: I am about to leave to pick you up

Emersyn: Ah, I am not even dressed

August: I don't mind

...

"You are hard work." She exhales as she slumps down in the car. "I wanted to look nice and you were not helping whatsoever."

"You look nice." I chuckle, letting my eyes wander over her.

"No thanks to your input."

"Why are you being a brat for?" I ask turning on the car and she laughs, reaching over and the brat flicks my ear.

I look at her shocked.

"I am moody because if we had stayed at yours last night..." Emersyn wiggles her eyebrows. "But we stayed at mine and so I am still..."

"Let's not talk about your sexual frustrations Emersyn Rose, I am trying to drive."

"Well, you asked why I was being moody."

"So you're telling me you're moody because we couldn't do anything last night?"

"Mhm."

"Em I was with you all day today."

She rolls her eyes exaggeratedly. "I'm joking August."

"Then why are you-"

She pouts. "I am not, you're making me moody by telling me I am moody."

I laugh at that, nodding. I lean my hand over and place it on her thigh. "You look beautiful."

She was wearing a dress, her hair was done, makeup as well.

It made me smile because I knew she wanted to dress up. That she deemed this important.

She absentmindedly drags her fingers over mine as I drive.

We had spent all last night together, packing her stuff up. In the latter end of the evening we had gone down stairs, we could hear Cole and November arguing almost.
