Tour Mode - Addendum: Miami Part 2/2

Saturday

I think my brother and Ross are off getting high. 😑

Hello to you too.

Hi, baby. I miss you. Now, remind me again why I let them hang out.

Hey, I told you to have Ross come to the show when Jason did.

I thought he could keep Austin from being bored.

Well sure enough...

Actually, in Ross's defense. I think Austin was the bad influence. Syd's been on a trip for like 2 weeks.

Want me to reign them in?

Wait, what?

I'll call them. Knock heads. You need rest after a show, not babysitting.

Oh wait, that is an option! I keep forgetting that this is an option!

LOL

What? I'm used to being the big sister. I forgot there is now a big brother option.

Oh! I've never been a big brother.

Trav, it's the best. You get to be BOSSY.

Baby, I think you are the one that likes being bossy.

Hey!

I love that about you. You can boss me all you want, sweetie. 😉

You're ridiculous. Now can you go boss them and then call me when you are done? I wanna talk to you.

...

And maybe boss you around... 😉

Absolutely. I am 100% on it!

Don't get too excited there, buddy. I haven't had a chance to taunt you about the Yankees winning yet. And make sure you know I'm going to collect on our bet.

FML

I mean...I love you, bossy girl. ♥️

Sunday

Travis's phone buzzes on the nightstand, the glow from the screen cutting through the darkness of the room.

Not sure if you'll see this, but landing now. We're like 30 minutes out.

I'm awake.

The phone immediately starts to ring. Her voice, soft and a little worn, comes through the speaker when he answers. "What are you doing up?" she asks, the exhaustion in her tone clear even through the distance between them.

"Waiting for you," he answers, simply.

"Trav, it's late. I'm sure you're ready to pass out," she says, but there's a warmth in her voice, like she's smiling, even though she's trying to scold him.

"I can't sleep, knowing you'll be right here soon," Travis insists. He pulls the comforter over his shoulder and burrows into their ridiculous mound of pillows. She's almost here, he shouldn't be this silly about wanting her right now.

"We're hopeless," she sighs. Yet, she doesn't sound unhappy about it. They both know they are attached at the hip and are completely fine with that.

"I like us like that," he murmurs.
