Can we all still go out as planned? I’ve invited Thea, but obviously, it will be in Roselake now instead of where she lives. Is that okay?
Emmy
We were coming for you, silly, not the views of where you were staying with your parents
Lacey
I second that *pointing finger up emoji* all we want is for you to be happy, and we will support you in whatever way we can
Lacey
Daisy, are you not getting any from the big, broody twin?
Me
Oh, what have I missed?? *shocked gif*
Daisy
*fingers in the ears gif* I’m not listening, and all I have to say on the matter is this; it’s been a long time since I had sex, but it’s okay because my anxiety fucks me hard every day anyway, so *shrugging emoji*
Me
*Crying laughing emoji* you’re definitely unpacking all of THAT when we meet
Thank you ladies, I’m sorry I’ve not been present but I am now
Emmy
We love you, Hayleigh
Lacey
Me too, Hayleigh
Daisy
Me three *heart emoji*
I close out of the chat and open a separate message with Thea. I’ve checked in with her every day since I left. Part of me still wants to go back and take her away, but it has to be her choice to do that, not mine.
Me
I hope everything’s okay still. I’m sorry again for leaving you…
Thea reads the messages almost straight away.
Thea
Hayleigh, stop apologising. I’m glad you left. It was very brave. I have work to do, talk later
Love you
I smile at the little add-on to the message.
Me
I love you too. Don’t forget: girls' day. You can stay with me while you’re here. No buts.
