Caitlin hates how things are going right now. She wishes you two were a bit closer. Friends at minimum but you two aren't. If everything went her way you two would still be engaged. Even with all her mistakes. Or one she never learned from.

She gets it was wrong but why did she do it? And why didn't you stay to fix her?

She lays in bed looking at the closet. It's closed but she knows your dress is still there. She never moved it. But this is her progress.

Her phone dings with a notification and she grabs it. Its_y/n00 is live. Caitlin taps it quickly. Your face pops up on the screen. You are in the kitchen.

"Good morning everybody. So today I am vlogging and going to be on live. I'm vlogging for my YouTube channel. I've been consistent on that so I'll keep up. I'm live because why not bring you all with me since I'm home for now."

"Babe you don't leave for at least another 3 weeks." You point in Paige's direction off camera.

"Anyways..... I mean that we aren't traveling for everything and anything right now. I think this will be our first full week here. So today's schedule is......" Caitlin knows for a fact you are checking your notes app. She smiles seeing how much you changed but didn't change at the same time.

"Okay so I'm making breakfast and shakes right now. I have lifting while Paige has practice and all that shit for like 8 hours. You think it's easy and nice being a basketball wife.... It's not. I gotta cook, clean, blow her mind and entertain. Then I repeat that all over again. Paige you need to pay me for all this work I do." You yell out at the end. Caitlin laughs ignoring that you are talking to Paige.

Paige pops into the camera. "I'll pay you in love and kisses." She then pulls you out of the screen and kisses you. You come back into view with a dopey smile.

"Go shower." She steals a grape from you and smacks your butt. "Anyways this morning I am making stuffed French toast. Paige has never had it and it's my favorite. Plus we don't have anything to make it on a stove but we do have an air fryer."

"She loved making this all the time in college." Caitlin says to herself.

"I make this all the time in college honestly. It's quick and easy. So I'll give a small tutorial. This is all the ingredients you need....." Caitlin watches with pure admiration like she did back when you two were in school together.

"Kate can you preheat the air fryer please." You kicked everyone out of the kitchen while you were cooking. Besides a few people. Caitlin sitting on the barstool in the kitchen as she watches you.

You made a small assembly line down the counter.

"Can I help babe?" Caitlin offers.

"No. You burned it last time and it wasn't even in the air fryer yet." You'll never let her live that down. She left a candle burning and well it caught the bread bag on fire. You still don't understand how it happened so quickly.

Kate and Hannah laughs as Cailin rolls her eyes.

"I love you baby but I seriously don't understand how you did that."

"I don't know either." The brunette grumbles to herself. She watches as you move effortlessly. AJ and Kennise are making eggs and bacon while you do the main course.

"Here." Jada says as she hands you the melted butter. You wink at her. Kate sits next to Caitlin and messages someone.

"Who you texting?"
