"Go on. Do it again. Ask me again," I repeat, the grin on my face never faltering.

Harry rolls his eyes, but smirks in amusement as he humours me once again. "Who's the most famous person in your phone?"

"Taylor Swift!" I screech, enjoying answering the question time and time again.

Taylor herself had officially reached out, and we had engaged in a conversation over the phone. It had been the best five minutes of my life, and Harry had enjoyed front row seats to my hysterical breakdown.

"What are you two laughing about?" Simon asks, wandering over.

"Please don't give her another reason to —" Harry starts, because it replays the entire spiel over again.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Shouldn't have asked," Simon laughs, once I've finished my second little freak out of the day.

"Morning, guys! What's going on over here?" Tobi asks, two cups of coffee in his hands.

"No!" Simon shouts, whilst at the same time Harry puts his hand over my mouth, stopping what would've been the third time.

Tobi gives all three of us a weird look, shrugging his shoulders as he retreats, heading over to Vik.

"You guys are no fun," I mumble, deciding to lick Harry's hand to get him to remove it which works.

He grimaces, and I get my karma when he wipes it all over my sleeve.

"Twat."

"Guys! We're ready over here if you are," Kon shouts out, attracting all of our attention.

Everyone else had finally arrived, and it seemed like they were all mic'd up ready for the video.

It was a fun one today. A hide and seek. It was an easy way to collect views, because they always did well.

We'd hired out an entertainment building for today, and it was absolutely huge. I did not envy Ethan in the slightest for being the seeker.

Things had been pretty mental these last few days, and they would be in the coming months.

Sidemen management had decided that with me being off for five months, the best course of action was to preplan ahead, so I would be in as many videos as possible before I became unavailable.

That wasn't the only thing that was keeping me busy. I was back in the studio — due to both Blue Horizons' insistence, and my own willing.

Despite things with Harry and I being better than ever, the Christmas break and the argument that had come with it had sparked feelings and emotions that played ingeniously into my songwriting.

Blue Horizons wanted an unreleased song for me to debut at the Eras Tour, and I wanted to make more music so our interests were aligned.

And then, on top of all of that, was couples therapy with Harry.

We'd had our first session, and contrary to my own belief, it had actually gone really well.

I wasn't a stranger to therapy — in fact, I'd had a lot of it in my time. But couples therapy was a first.

It was only a starter session, and I knew we'd be getting into the nitty gritty in later sessions, but I actually looked forward to growing as a person with Harry. The worry that mine or his mind's wouldn't change was ever present, but the effort we were both putting in gave me hope that everything would turn out okay.

"Kenzie? Coming?" Harry asked, holding his hand out. Knowing that I must've momentarily zoned out, I give a hazy smile, intertwining our fingers as he leads me over to the group, where Ethan gives us a knowing look as he waits to introduce the video.
