BLUE SKIES • RICHARD MADDEN

real life

"I spoke with Daniel yesterday and he said your schedule is clear for the next two weeks. Now, do you have everything?" Kylie asked Eleanor, watching as she paced around the room.

"I'm so nervous Kylie. I mean, it's London, I've wanted to go back and spend more time there."

"But..." Kylie urged on.

"I'm not sure whether Richard will actually like me in real life. I'm very different outside of social media, you know."

"Yes, but Eleanor, listen to me. I can already tell Richard likes you. You will go to London with Taron, you will meet Richard and he will accept you for who you are. You're strong. Eleanor."

Eleanor nodded at her sister's words. She was very grateful to still be close with her sibling and to have a 'best-friend-connection' with her. Without Kylie, Eleanor wouldn't be the confident, humbled girl she has come to be today. She couldn't let one person's first impressions bring her down, she was stronger than that.

"You and Richard will get along just fine. Now go! Taron is waiting outside!" Her sister pushed her out of the door and towards Taron's car.

Eleanor smiled at Taron then turned back to her sister. She wrapped her arms around her shoulders and hugged her tight.

"I will miss you, Kylie."

"I'll miss you too. Trust me, you'll be fine!"

Eleanor nodded once more to her sister, then turned and approached the car, packing her belongings into the trunk. She opened the passenger door to Taron's car and sat in the seat. Taron turned to her with a smile.

"You ready?"

"Let's go."
