elsie, have you seen this?

LYNN
literally wtf..

NYTH
andddd that answers my question

LYNN
this was my first time ever speaking to him
and now we're rumored to be in a relationship?!?

NYTH
that's how fast the media works ellie..

LYNN
i haven't been to ANY public event in TWO years and the second i do, i'm pulled into unnecessary drama?

and it's not only involving me but
it's involving luke?!? 

NYTH
i know... do you think he read it?

LYNN
i'm pretty sure he did or else i wouldn't
have gotten a text from calum
asking me if it was true

NYTH
i'm so sorry elsie

i know you just wanted this
one night to have fun and the media ruined it

LYNN
they didn't ruin it, they just reminded me
what it's like for us

i can't be seen with someone of the
opposite sex or else people will
assume we're together

NYTH
other than the obvious, did
you have a good time?

LYNN
surprisingly, yes

i sat with timmy and z during the oscar's

and then i sat with them and florence
at the after party

timmy kept grilling me about NWH and ST4

NYTH
happy to say i knew before he did 🫣

but i'm glad you had fun

you deserved it

but i have to ask, how was it with austin?

LYNN
he's honestly really sweet

he actually watched TWD and ST

and he like, listens intently whenever
someone's talking

i think you'd like him
