The Elliot sisters chat room

Manuela: So, I just watched the Grammys.

Eden: Me too.

Faith: …

Manuela: Faith, you watched them too, don’t deny it.

Faith: Fine, I did. Your prince won everything.

Manuela: Yeah, he did. Album of the year withHeartbreaker. AndFireworkswon too. And somehow he took home two more Grammys.

Faith: Isn’t that a little selfish? To win every Grammy on the planet?

Manuela: He did that two years ago as well, right?

Faith: Yeah. His debut single,Saint Hope, won big back then. And now, he did it again withHeartbreaker. You’re right, it is selfish haha.

Manuela: It’s not, he’s just that good.

Faith: At least his music is.

Manuela: Yeah, like you haven’t memorized every single lyric on that album.

Manuela: Eden, you’re being pretty quiet. What did you think of Issy Woo’s performance ofHeartbreakerat the Grammys? His acceptance speech?

Faith: He thanked his mom, his brother and his dead dad. How cute.

Manuela: Is a dead dad cute, Fee?

Faith: Oh, you know what I mean. They were all there too. Well, except for the dad, obvi.

Eden: I loved the performance. I’ve always loved his music.

Manuela: Me too.

Faith: Me too.

Manuela: Singing a different tune now, aren’t we, Fee?

Eden: He didn’t look happy.

Manuela: Didn’t he? I didn’t notice anything.

Eden: He was smiling, but his eyes were sad.

Manuela: Oh.

Faith: Do you think he was high?

Manuela: Fee, would you stop putting your foot in your mouth for one second?
