I woke up feeling not so refreshed, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from doing something. I got dressed and went to get breakfast. Jenni and Gabby said that they'd come round today - but I found myself thinking about cancelling. As I put the bread in the toaster, my phone rang.
"Hello?" I said, looking for a glass to put orange juice in.
"Aurelia! Okay, so I have a great announcement"
"Oh hey Matt! And okay, shoot."
"So, you know those drafts of the book pages? Well they've been approved!! We'll bring you into the editing suite next week and we'll get it sorted! Since it's not a proper detailed biography and it's only short and sweet, it shouldn't take too long to get edited and published!" Matt said over the phone.
"That's amazing, oh my god I never expected this! Thank you so much".
"No need to thank me, we're thinking of making the announcement at your film premier and set a book release date a couple of months later"
"Sounds good!!"
We exchanged more pleasantries and then hung up so that I could eat.

I went through my usual morning routine and sat outside, it being a surprisingly sunny day for England - especially for end of autumn. I texted Audrey. Knowing she wouldn't reply for a few hours due to time zones - I got to sketching out ideas for my book.

Three hours later, I answered my phone to Audrey. We chatted on FaceTime, and she pretended to serenade me to her favourite song until someone yelled out for her to stop being weird.
"I miss you. So much." I said trying not to cry
"We'll be reunited soon, promise"
"That's all I can hope for"

We'd been on the FaceTime for an hour when Jenni texted me saying that she was on her way here, I said bye to Audrey and waited for one of my best friends.
