We got to Heathrow just after lunch, and El came home with me. 

Eleanor - ... and he was really sweet, trust me, when he smiles at you... - she let herself fall on the couch. 

She had been telling me all about Daniel. They hadn't talked for long, but El said he was a true gentleman. They were texting since the day before, and she was just over the moon.

Eleanor - Starting my dream job and talking to him, all within a week, what is life anymore?

I laughed.

Me: I'm really happy for you. - I jumped on the couch and hugged her.

Eleanor: What about you and Lew? Did you decide when you wanna tell people?

Me: Well, I think I'm gonna tell my parents and my brother today. Natalie kind of already knows, she saw Lewis's post the other day here. 

Eleanor: You're telling them today? Already?

Me: Yeah, if it was a "normal person" I would wait, but I want them to know from me, you know?

Eleanor: I guess... Your parents are gonna freak out over who it is...

Me: You have no idea! - Mason and my dad have been watching all the races lately, and they know that I kind of know Lewis. 

Eleanor laughed.

Eleanor: Yeah, you kind of know him... naked. 

Me: They don't need to know that! - I chuckled. 

I grabbed my phone and decided to text my mom.

Me: Ok, so I'm having dinner at my parents' house

Me: Ok, so I'm having dinner at my parents' house. I'm telling them. 

El went home and I got ready. 

I decided to call Lewis to tell him.

Call ON

Lewis: Hey baby, what's up?

Me: Hey, I wanted to ask you something. Is it ok if I tell my parents?

Lewis: Sky, I...

I interrupted him.

Me: I know it's really soon, I'm sorry, but I don't want them to know from anywhere else...

Lewis: Baby, you didn't let me finish. - he laughed. - I would love for you to tell your parents. I'm thinking of telling mine... For the exact same reason.

Me: Really?

Lewis: Really. I love you, if I could I'd tell the entire world right about now. - he chuckled.

Me: I love you too. Soon. How is everything at the factory?

Lewis: Well, for now, boring. They're checking the car, as usual, and me and Valtteri are waiting for our next meeting.
