This is probably more than you wanted to know about my job.You can always reciprocate and tell me more about yours.

Sending sunshine, love, and butterfly kisses,

Subject: Let’s not get a llama.

I was just about to give you the same lecture Mom used to give us when we were younger.Then it hit me: The responsibility for the pet would fall on our shoulders, not my parents'.However, you should wait until I return before you and Grey make any decisions, alright?

As for my job ...I compose music with my bandmates, perform live shows, and record songs in a studio.Sometimes we even do radio interviews, although lately, podcasts have been a major focus.I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

If you're asking about the tattoo parlor, I typically go when my clients schedule their appointments.I draw their desired designs for their approval, and then I proceed to ink them.It's a relatively simple process, and you can find video tutorials online if you're interested in learning more about tattoos.

For the band, there’s actually a movie called "Behind the Scenes: Too Far From Grace."Unless you've already watched it, since secretly, I know you have a thing for the bassist.

Thank you for sharing about your job.If you think you want to return to New York, I’m sure Grey and I will make it work.It's wonderful to hear that you've found something truly fulfilling.Knowing that you've discovered a passion that brings you more fulfillment than ballet makes me happy.

Is dancing something you’d like to pursue again?

I apologize beforehand if I don’t respond in the next couple of days, but I’m going to be busy.

Love,

S

Subject: Dancing and other plans ...

I wanted to know about your secret agent gig, not the other two.I might ask you to tattoo me one day.We’ll hold off on the puppy or llama until you arrive.Please come home safe.

Ainsley invited me to teach classes at the academy.I might pursue that in a couple of years when I’m more settled into our lives.See, I already accepted that I’m not going anywhere.I’m here to stay, I just hope we can find our way to each other soon.

I miss the closeness we shared so much, it’s unsettling.

Sending sunshine, love, and butterfly kisses,

Ae

PS Come home safe <3

ChapterTwenty-Six

Sanford:She’s going back to the academy?

Greyson:Maybe in a few years.Why are you freaking out?

Sanford:I’m not.I’m actually happy but jealous.It feels like you’re helping her, and I’m here just ...

Greyson:Making sure she has a future?Babe, you’re doing more than anyone else.

Sanford:How are you?Are you fixing her problems so you can avoid yours?Denial won’t help you or us long term.
