MADS I wish you would have apologized 3 years ago, but we can't all get what we want can we? I hope you picked up the tab. She seemed nice enough, maybe she'd give you one more chance. I can't imagine. Were you in London for a while?

[percy de vane]

PERCY You can’t. All you can do is forget and move on. I can’t ask you to forgive me but I would like a chance to move on from that. Get to know who you are now? Eh. She was alright. She’s made a bigger deal out of our “relationship” than it needs to be. It was one date. I was in London until a few months ago. I had to get things settled back here. Have you been anywhere lately?

[madelyn holt]

MADS I'll think about it, you don't really deserve that either right now but I've thoroughly regressed as a person, haha. Umm yeah, Ezra and I were just filming something in the Med. Did a few weeks of vacation after that, we just got back last week.

[percy de vane]

PERCY I’ll take you even considering it as a small win. You’ve regressed?? Oh nice. That sounds actually amazing. What were you filming? And how’s Ezra?

[madelyn holt]

MADS Oh yeah, the pandemic hasn't been super kind to me. Lots of unemployment, lots of wine. Below Deck, Bravo truly owns our souls. Was worth it though so we could just hop to a vacation spot right after. He's good, though. Same old Ezra, was good to see him again.

[percy de vane]

PERCY I’m sorry it’s been like that for you. I really never wanna hear the words pandemic or COVID-19 ever again. At the least the wine is a good perk. There’s never too much. Bravo life chose you again huh? That’s great though. What part did you like about it? Glad Ezra is doing well.

[madelyn holt]

MADS Ah yeah, makes sense. I should probably be more grateful for what I have but it's been a mental toll as well. Cue the wine. And we chose it, unfortunately. I think we both just wanted to get out for a while, gave us a chance to catch up anyway. We somehow got into Capri for a bit, beautiful as ever. I'm sure it sucks for you not to be traveling all the time.

[percy de vane]

PERCY No I didn’t mean it to say like that. I think a mental toll is the worst. I’m so sorry. I’ll send you some more wine. Where are you staying now? Why not? Especially if you have that plug. You sound like you needed a vacation too. I’m happy you enjoyed yourself. Capri is gorgeous. Yeah, it was hard at first not to travel. But honestly, my travel is going to change drastically when life gets a little normal. I miss the warmth. I tried to always escape during this time.

[madelyn holt]

MADS You don’t need to do that, the cellar’s stocked at my parent’s. Was a nice break, and figure things will pick up next year so enjoying the peace in the interim. Change how so, not as much? It’s fucking cold here.

[percy de vane]

PERCY I still would like to send you some. As soon as we’re in the clear, I’m taking myself a nice vacation. I actually sold my company. As long as I could be a freelancer. I didn’t want to just be go go anymore. I missed out on a lot of shit you know?

[madelyn holt]

MADS I'm alright, thanks though. Tourism's going to skyrocket once restrictions on America lift. Wow, that's news. Does it feel nice to take a step back? Yeah, sure, but you experienced a lot of shit too. Things people will never get to in their lifetime.

[percy de vane]

PERCY If you change your mind let me know. Where will you travel to when you can? Yeah I just thought it was the best idea. It was taking up so much of my life. I want to travel for leisure but in the right way. I was pretty selfish with getting a shot. I felt bad when my mom passed. I was there but I felt like the last years I neglected being there.

[madelyn holt]

MADS Will do. Probably to see Marg in California. She had my nephew a few months ago and has just been really precautious, so I haven't met him yet. Hoping sooner rather than later. You? You were just doing what you loved, she wouldn't fault you for that. She was super proud of you, so I hope either way that carries on.

[percy de vane]

PERCY How is Margaret doing with all that? Okay? I think that I will try to go to Greece. I haven’t been there in forever. I know she’s proud of me and what not. I just think that I need to enjoy life rather than focus on work. It took up all of my life before. The pandemic was a blessing that I got stranded in London. What if I would’ve been stuck in NY? I just don’t try to think about that. But at the same time I do. My sister is really struggling.

[madelyn holt]

MADS They're doing alright! He's their second, so at this point her and Sean are kind of pros. Just want to meet him! A great choice. Work was life, life was work. Creatives just kind of blend it, I feel. You'd have been able to fly back for emergencies, I hope. I'm not sure, all the protocols shift so much. I hope you're staying close to her.
