Lauren was sitting on the couch the next morning, smothered in one of Joey's sweaters and cuddling Diane to cheer herself up, when there was a knock at the door.
She looked at the clock on the wall. It was 9 in the morning, and she wasn't expecting any visitors. She got up to see who it was, a small frown on her face.
She opened the door to find a delivery person stood there, holding a bunch of flowers and a letter.
"Delivery for Lauren Lopez."
She took the items from him and thanked him, then turned back inside with a small smile on her face. She had a pretty good idea who these must be from. She looked at the card in the flowers and a huge smile immediately came to her face when she saw 'from JoJo to LoLo' written with dozens of kisses underneath. She got a vase to put the flowers in, then sat down to open the letter.
Dear Lo,
One day without you and you haven't left my mind. One day and I already miss the feeling of holding you in my arms. One day and I can't stop thinking about how much I want to come home to you and Diane and laugh with you for hours about the stupidest things. One day and I can't believe how much I want to kiss you again.
One day and I have no idea how we managed for so long when I was in LA and you were in Chicago. One day and I will never again take for granted how lucky I am to get to see you almost every day. One day and I am so thankful that no matter what happens, I get to come home to my two favourite girls who I know love me no matter what, and who I love no matter what too.
I love you more than anything in the world.
Love Jojo xxx
Of course he would, she thought, tears welling up in her eyes. How did she get lucky enough to have such a thoughtful boyfriend?
She grabbed her phone off the table to send him a text.
'You're an idiot Jojo'
But it was very quickly followed up by another one.
'I love you too. More than anything. Thank you'
'I had to make sure you know how much I love you' he replied.
Her phone rang with an incoming FaceTime call.
"You could have just texted me. You really didn't have to send flowers," she said, laughing, as she accepted the call.
"Don't try and tell me you're not worth more than a text," he said, looking at her sincerely.
"It was very sweet of you," she said, smiling softly. "But I don't know how I can live up to that."
"You don't have to, silly. Anyway, you live up to it every day a million times over just by letting me be in your life."
"Ugh, I'm going to throw up now, bye!" she said, but he knew she didn't mean it.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll text you later."
"Love you."
"Love you more."
