Shana: I just saw the news! I'm crying, I'm so happy for you! ❤️

Carly: What a perfect match ❤️❤️❤️

Mom: Chris and Sebastian called us right after it happened, and I'm honestly not surprised, but I am over the moon! You'll have to visit soon, Chris!

Dad: I'm happy for you two, Chris! And your mother is right — you need to visit us soon! I want to give you two my blessing.

Chris: Of course ☺️ we're actually in the middle of booking our flight back to the East Coast, so it won't be long!

Shana: Yay! I can't wait!

Carly: How much longer are you in LA?

Mom: Two more nights, is it?

Chris: Yep!

Carly: In that case, I'm going to fly home tomorrow so I'm in Boston when you two are!

Chris: Perfect ☺️

Scott: Chris, man, I need details! Tell us all about the proposal!

Shana: Yes, PLEASE!

Dad: I'm sure we'll hear all about it while they're here!

Chris: Exactly, Dad! It's best hearing it in person, not over text!

Scott: Ah damn 😔

Chris: Just a few days until you hear all of the details, guys! Be patient with me 😂

Mom: So how was the premiere, kiddo? We saw Endgame earlier today and it was incredible! Job well done!

Chris: It surpassed all expectations, and it was emotional, I cried at least six times, but it's nice finally closing that chapter. I'm not quite finished with Marvel yet though.

Scott: What do you mean? I thought you were completely done with Marvel?

Chris: If I told you, I'd have to kill you — it's top secret, classified information!

Shana: 🙄🙄🙄

Scott: 😞😞😞

Mom: I'm sure we'll know soon though?

Chris: As soon as it goes public, you'll know exactly what it is. I wasn't even in on it until earlier when the entire Endgame cast was told. We were all surprised, but it really brings everything together and explains every single action that was made in Endgame, why things happened the way that they did or were shown a certain way.
