There is a high possibility that we now have pet foxes. They have been setting up camp in our back garden for the last few weeks. We haven't bothered them, we've let it be that they will want to use our green space. All we need to do is not feed them directly. While I've been watching them, I've been working on more lyrics.

My grievances lie in my letters

No sign of things getting better

My love for you is that crystal pain

Stuck in yet another crystal maze

I don't know what to do

You're stuck to me like glue

Every hug you give is getting tighter

My vision is turning darker

Where is my escape?

Where is my tape?

Who knows what will happen

When my hands are no longer clapping?

E: [sitting at bay window writing]

M: [closes bedroom door] Come on Evin, it's time to get ready for today.

E: [hyper-focused on writing]

M: [sighs] Evin darling. [sits on bay window] It's time to get ready. [gently shakes leg]

E: What?

M: We have to get you ready for today.

E: I don't want to get ready yet.

M: Well, you still have to. Your mother and sisters are on their way.

E: They can wait, I'm busy right now.

M: [takes iPad] No you're not.

E: Give it back!

M: You're getting ready. Now.

E: No.

M: Evin... Don't have an attitude with me. Or you're not getting your pudding.

E: And what if I don't want pudding? What if I want an extra helping of dinner?

G: [knocks door] Girls, breakfast is ready.

E: Alright.

M: Are you getting ready now?

E: [gives up] Sure...

E: [sits at table] What are we talking about?

M: Plans for next month.

E: Ah. [eats toast]

Ma: What are your plans for next month Evin?

E: I have a few things on mind that are causing me bother - mostly the fact the show is on the 30th and the campaign starts on the first. We're launching at six in the evening this year - but that's later than usual!

Ma: It's still being launched?

E: Only nine hours late!

M: [petting hair] You worry about the wrong things.

Ma: Why don't you announce it during the show?

E: That cheapens it really.

Ma: How so?

E: Well, you see, every year we have a launch video live stream and talk about it - we have visuals that are shown on the stream. And I'm in fresh full drag!
