Hey Lils, how're you doing?

[lily mccarthy]

Zac! I think I just did the worst job at cutting up a watermelon as one could do, but aside from that I'm alright. How about you? How's LA?

[isaac mcavoy]

You're talking to the wrong man, I can barely butter toast. Glad you're okay though, been thinking about you a lot. I'm good thanks! All good. LA is very LA but I'm still enjoying it. Eternal summer is hard to hate, right?

[lily mccarthy]

I'll send you a picture, the kitchen is a sight. Unless you hate the sunshine yes, it's quite hard. I miss it, but home feels good right now. You should come visit, it would be easier to drag Joe off the couch sometimes.

[isaac mcavoy]

From one watermelon? Lily. Yeah, I've been meaning to. How's he holding up? He barely replies to my texts and hasn't once answered my calls... and I've called a lot.

[lily mccarthy]

I know...I don’t know how I did it. He’s ok, it comes and goes but he’s stayed pretty mum about how he’s feeling. It’s everyone, not just you. I don’t even think he’s talking much to his girlfriend.

[isaac mcavoy]

There’s one positive! I don’t know what to do... I felt the same way and at the time I think I just wanted to be left alone, but I’m misremembering.

[lily mccarthy]

Yeah - she took off pretty fast. He’ll get back to you, I’ll force him to even if I must. I’ve just never seen him this quiet.

[isaac mcavoy]

Not surprising at all. Don’t worry, I’ll come visit and make him tolerate me. Are you sure you’re okay?

[lily mccarthy]

Back on my shit list. Let me know when so the guest room isn’t full of storage. I’m alright, though. He wouldn’t want us to be sad forever.

[isaac mcavoy]

She's never been off mine. Let me call your mom, make sure she's ok with me coming! No. I don't know what to tell you, Lils. I want to say it gets easier but that isn't exactly true... you find a way to keep going.

[lily mccarthy]

She fell off mine for a second. Now she’s back to the top. When are you free? It’s one day at a time, that’s all I can really think of it as and it’s been keeping me going.

[isaac mcavoy]

Why?! I'm glad. I'm free all the time, I'd written this time off for the tour so I can be there whenever. Yeah, exactly. You'll get through this.

[lily mccarthy]

She was around for a while, I started getting used to her - then she left the moment she could. It’s like it got too hard for her, of all people. Thanks - I miss him so much, we all do, but I’m trying not to wallow. LA probably wasn’t expecting you back so quickly.

[isaac mcavoy]

At least he can get some space and hopefully come to his fucking senses about her. You know you're welcome here too, right? Spare room's all yours whenever you want a break.
