TWO DAYS LATER ON INSTAGRAM

CONNOR: Hey. Here to have a conversation that isn’t 365 days later.

EDEN: Hi

EDEN: Technically, one year was a leap year, so I think it was 366.

CONNOR: I appreciate a woman who understands astrophysics.

EDEN: Pretty sure that’s astronomy.

CONNOR: I’m going to trust you on that one.

EDEN: Stick around, and I’ll drop more knowledge on you.

EDEN: Did you go to LA??

CONNOR: Yup. [sends photo of hotel window view].

EDEN: Nice. How is it so far? It must be a whirlwind to go from the wedding to that?

CONNOR: Yeah, my brain is a shit show. Lots of family stuff on Sunday, then packing and the red-eye here. Today, I met a bunch of the people who work out of this office.

EDEN: Sheesh.

CONNOR: I’ll be okay after a good night of sleep. I’m crashing early, but I wanted to write you first like I said I would.

EDEN: :)

CONNOR: Sorry we won’t be able to hang soon, but how about when I’m back?

EDEN: Yeah, I’d like that :)

EDEN: Well, hope you get some rest!

CONNOR: Talk soon.

CONNOR: Sooner than July 4

THE NEXT SATURDAY, FIVE DAYS LATER

EDEN: Thanks for liking my post from earlier :) How are things going out there?

CONNOR: Alright. My first weekend in LA and I’m going to dinner at some fancy place with Milo and Jace Tilius.

EDEN: OMG, I saw him play in the World Cup for Greece ten years ago as a kid.

CONNOR: Yeah, he’s a longtime client of Milo.

EDEN. That’s wild. So Milo manages the finances of soccer players like him? That’s what you’re doing?

CONNOR: A little more than that. He advises on business investments, definitely. We also make sure that all the day-to-day things these players need are handled too.

EDEN: Okay, that’s right, you explained some of that in the wine cellar. What are the day-to-day things?

CONNOR: It can be almost anything, it feels like. Appearance requests, travel arrangements, bookkeeping/budgeting, making sure brand arrangements go smoothly. Agents and PR reps set up opportunities too, but the business manager makes the trains run on time in the execution.

EDEN: Sounds cool. Especially if you meet legends like Jace Tilius.
