I like the distraction. I was pretty much done now anyway.

Gabriel

I like to imagine you in your hotel bed, all propped up on pillows, typing away.

I took a selfie and sent it.

He hearted it.

Gabriel

best pic ever

Me

how’ve you been?

Gabriel

I’ve been working on my own story, too. I got an assignment that was more of a think piece about the travel industry. Not as fun as booking flights and eating new food.

Gabriel

but it was fun to write, too. I had more opinion than I thought.

Me

hahaha

Me

I always assume you have a billion opinions.

Me

I could say ‘cheese is good’ and know you could write a think piece about it

Gabriel

next piece I’m writing is on the cheese industry

Me

you’re welcome for being your inspiration

Gabriel

I expect no less from you Emma Brown

On the drive back to the airport, I was excitedly giving Katie a rundown on my story.

“What do you think?” I asked her breathlessly.

“I think it’s going to be a hit,” she said, reassuring me.

“I’d love that, but I’m just hoping Terrence approves of it and then sends me another assignment.”
