I smiled sweetly. "I just wish I could relive the nineteen years I've wasted and smush them into six months before I get married," I murmured, pouting slightly. "Well, maybe I can help," he said suddenly. I looked up at him. "What?" I questioned, surprised. "For the next six months, Ellie, I'm going to teach you how to live. But first, let's eat dinner," he said, standing up, grabbing my hand. --- Ellie Quinn had never lived a regular life. She never had a proper friend, except for Jordan.

Remember when I first met you and ate at the Cheesecake Factory? There are English clam chowders here, and I love them. I just saw in person AshleyMarieeGaming, who is definitely one of the YouTubers I was obsessed with before I started my own channel. We're planning to do many collabs, which I'm excited about. I know you have many questions going through your mind. I know you'll hate me for this, but I'm breaking up with you by this letter. Yes, Jordan Maron, I have dumped you, by writing this letter.
